TO KNOW YOURSELF

TO KNOW YOURSELF is a metaphorical journey through life leading towards one's very own self. When the curtain opens to our story we're in the position of someone reluctant to make his/her own decisions. That is why the person is tempted to seek guidance in order to just become part of society. In TO KNOW YOURSELF we pass by this stage and the way goes on.
Once realized that people are just people our journey becomes increasingly passionate. It finishes when the passenger steps out of the vehicle und proceeds on his/her own.

So, one day I took my smartphone cam and tried for myself to open up the world around me by making short films ...
