The animation uses the different tones of the opera to aid in telling the story. During the intense scenes the opera would be very loud and bold, for example the intimate moment with the sailor and when the baby is taken away. During emotional and depressing scenes the music is softer, when the woman is left alone pregnant outside. The added sound effects allow the viewer to better understand the animation.
The fish bowl was a metaphor for pregnancy. The fish in the bowl was growing into a baby in a comfortable warm environment, which is what would happen with a fetus. The bowl cracks and breaks, imitating the woman's water breaking before the baby is born.
During the animation the wind is blowing off and on adding to the emotional effects. I found the last scene to be the most creative and interesting. The woman is so upset after her daughter is taken away from her that she "kills her self" by taking the parts of the doll apart and letting them blow away in the strong wind.
