On a lively and bustling cruise ship, a blond man with an injured arm throws a suitcase into the sea. The suitcase is affixed with six stamps, each telling a story. Each story takes place in a different location, yet they are all intricately connected, gradually revealing the secret within the suitcase. The story revolves around a beautiful but flirtatious socialite, a wealthy old man, and this blond man. One scene transitions to another, the relationships among the three become entangled, a pistol triggers a murder, and the final stamp reveals the starting point of the story—the transit point of their destinies. Using the six stamps as scenes, the short film skillfully employs flashbacks and scene transitions to unfold a suspenseful story within 12 minutes. Directed by the renowned Dutch animator Piet Kroon, it won awards including the Best Animated Short Film at the 1998 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards.
