I should say that 'The Shape of Water' had quite an influence over me. The story is focused upon a woman named Elisa. She is mute and works as a cleaning woman at a secret government laboratory. The lab receives a mysterious tank which contains not only water, but also a sort ot creature inside. Elisa then discovers that the creature is a humanoid amphibian that was captured from a South American river. Regardless of how dangerous this situation could be, she begins visiting him in secret and a close bond is formed between them... (from here on, you might be able to guess what happens next...) The movie itself gives off such emotional feelings that the person would become pretty much involved with the whole plot! I In my opinion, the story is just well-written and fantastic!
