Director Statement

Every person will face the limit of time, humans will not always be in the same condition. Death is a manifestation of someone’s time running out, which makes it fundamentally what gives life meaning. For with a time limit, humans are compelled to use it the best they can.

The meaning of someone’s life is not measured by how long they lived, but the use the their time for something valuable. Whatever live you ate living right now is ephemeral, therefore I hope that we can bring meaning to our lives by appreciating our borrowed time in whatever our situation may be.
