It is a story about looking for a person in his/her own kind. You feel comfortable being with this person and there is not any obstacle to the communication. The inspiration comes from a song by Yico Tseng (同类); it talks about the alienation among people and it is hard to eliminate this feeling. The story begins with darkness where many people stare and shout at you because your behavior does not fit in the society and standard. Then, you start to look for the people who are able to understand your thoughts. During the searching process, you go through oceans, mountains, forests, cities and finally outer space. Finding a Bole, the person who is a good judge of (especially hidden) talent, is actually not that easy. And we are still looking for our own Bole.
