Experiencing Interruptions?

Found My Mind

In Found My Mind, we follow the journey of a woman who faces difficult days, immersed in the hopelessness of reclaiming her inner light. As sadness envelops her, she gradually surrenders to depression. However, in a parallel reality, her alternative mind and soul wander through streets and parks, living a life full of joy and happiness, detached from her weary and lifeless body. While she sinks into darkness, her positive version experiences a full and radiant existence, completely separate from her deplorable form. As the two states intertwine, the woman faces the difficult task of reconciling her duality and finding the path to healing and self-rediscovery. Found My Mind is an emotional exploration of the inner journey and the struggle to rebuild one's identity, drawing the viewer into a reflection on the complexity of the human mind and the possibility of emotional rebirth.
