Experiencing Interruptions?

Dreams

Once a dream wove a shade, and pitying I dropped a tear.
But I saw lights near, that light the ground while the soul wanders.

Director Statement

"Dreams" is literally a dream movie to me. For many years I always wanted to do stopmotion and experimental animation, and also use classical poetry and adapt it into my own style, at the same time remaining loyal to the original.
