Director's statement
In this film, I endeavor to blur the timeline of the happenings. Our words and life experiences come from a variety of sources, time and space are paradoxically unified but intertwined, so I figure that audio-visual languages can be as diverse as possible. Using this way, I want to express my own feelings — no matter who we are, where we come from, where we have been, with what intensity human relationships have developed, we will eventually walk into the new unknown in one way or another. In the process of exploring the unknown, people might meet again. This film is in memory of three friends of mine who passed away.
