作品以溫馨風格的2D動畫為主，內容闡述了一位因臉上傷疤而自卑的小女孩在拯救殘缺小魚的途中所接受到的一系列善意都成了她擁抱自己，萌生自信，最終勇敢展露自我的故事。
臉上有傷疤而獨來獨往的女孩，在每日上放學的路上總會經過一家販賣小魚的店鋪，有一天她在魚缸內發現了一隻和她同樣有傷疤、尾部有殘缺的小黑魚，牠因為不漂亮的色澤在魚缸中滯銷多日。
店主提著水桶經過她身後，隨之而來的是一旁小巷傳來的倒水聲，她發現在小黑魚躺在水溝上無力跳動，她捧著魚不知該如何是好，幾日前站在街邊發汽球的街頭藝人又出現了，他拿下自己的帽子裝滿水，示意她把魚放進去。兩人注意到巷口張貼的露營區海報，一同踏上將小魚放生的路途。
路上的哭聲吸引兩人的注意，原來是小孩因為壞掉的玩具在哭泣，街頭藝人拍拍女孩的肩膀拿出氣球髮箍希望能由她交給小孩，女孩將髮箍替孩子戴上，她撇過頭遮擋風吹開蓋住的傷痕，孩子並不怕，反而上前擁抱她，這接二連三的善意讓她逐漸萌發出自信心。
他們來到湖畔放生小魚，女孩回頭看著卸下厚重妝容的的街頭藝人，迸發出驚訝的神情，而街頭藝人並不解釋，只是拿出個髮夾希望女孩戴上，她不再用瀏海遮擋住臉上的傷疤，而是勇敢展露自己的面貌。

Scars

The work is set in a warm, 2D animation style and tells the story of a little girl with a scar on her face, who feels insecure and is ostracized by her classmates. On her daily walk home from school, she passes a shop selling small fish. One day, she notices a small black fish in the tank, which has a scar like hers and a damaged tail. Because of its unappealing color, it has been unsold for many days.
As she watches the fish, the shopkeeper passes by, carrying a bucket of water, and the sound of water pouring from the alley catches her attention. She finds the little black fish lying weakly in the gutter, having escaped from the tank. Not knowing what to do, she picks up the fish. The street performer who had been handing out balloons a few days ago appears again. He fills his hat with water and suggests she place the fish inside.
Together, they notice a camping area poster near the alley, and they decide to release the fish there. On their way, they hear a child crying over a broken toy. The street performer gives the girl a balloon headband and encourages her to give it to the child. As the girl places the headband on the child, a gust of wind blows her hair back, revealing her scar. She quickly turns away, but the child is not afraid. Instead, the child gives her a hug, which marks the beginning of the girl’s newfound confidence as she experiences the kindness of others.
They reach the lakeside, where they release the fish. The girl turns back to look at the street performer, who has removed his makeup, and is surprised. Without explaining, the street performer hands her a hairpin, encouraging her to wear it. The girl smiles, no longer hiding her scar with her bangs, but bravely revealing her true self.
