Pro. daydreamer

Pro. daydreamer (2020) is about how we rely on spiritual belief systems these days.
We need a solid personal belief system as means to protect ourselves from the pain of life – one which helps us to endure any pain which bypasses this protection. Though others may seek to alleviate their pain using the illusion provided by the “exit” this system must also serve to protect us from losing belief in the value of the individual.
However, sometimes, a blind faith in vulnerable things has socially inappropriate consequences. Unlike before, the boundaries of whether a belief in the traditional and historical sense and their affects both positive or negative, have become increasingly blurred. And also, the true contexts are getting disintegrated. The film reflects the appearance of a modern society that lost its probabilities through a chaotic phenomenon of belief.
