Director Statement

We always curious about what will happened after we die. The topic about life and death brings us infinite imaginations.

Myth about people claim that they recall memories about their previous life. While incarnation is one of the creed of Buddhism, we design a scene about a monk explaining destiny to the protagonist.

We hope the nonlinear storytelling style and the usage of soud design, could let audience immersing the story like the protagonist himself, being understand the truth until the story ends.
