Synopsis
What is paradise? Where is it? Who am I? Where is the joy of living? It takes courage to live your own path every day, it takes courage to be yourself. Pupa is a story about that courage. Journey from a safe cocoon, transformation necessary to find one's own way and one's own self, and the return of the renewed self into the world. The journey we undertake alone, relying only on our own strength, the journey we make every day. Maybe that is paradise – to be complete, the way you are, wherever you are; to be yourself.
