I sit and look out
The film consists of a coherent series of different absurd scenes that are constantly interrupted by the narrator’s internal monologue, which is about a photographic research. In the alternation of realistic and surreal images, the inner theme of the film unfolds, reflecting various social problems in the form of a unique artistic idea. The title I Sit and look out, and the three captions - which separate the beginning of the realistic and surreal planes - I See, I Hear and I Listen, together intend to unfold the theme or message of the film - through the images of the film - which ultimately calls for attention from the audience to one thing: to thinking.
