"Blue My Mind" is a film that explores the psychological and physical changes experienced during the process of growth in a unique and symbolic way.

The story revolves around Mia, the main character who transfers to a new school and faces various problems such as conflict with her parents and alienation from her friends. In the process, Mia discovers that her body is gradually changing into a fish, which symbolically represents her inner turmoil and transformation.

The film delicately portrays Mia's worries and confusion as her physical changes become more pronounced. Her toes fuse together, her skin becomes scaly, and she even develops gills, making her deeply aware of her identity and the instability of her growth process. These changes make it difficult for her to receive understanding and support from others, leading Mia to become increasingly isolated.

However, in this process, Mia deals with accepting her unique identity and overcoming the challenges. (For more details, please check out the YouTube video below)
