Private Project

Where did I come from? Who am I? Where will I go to? And you are…

A woman lived with a partner together, but he suddenly disappeared. She started to look for him with pictures left at their flat. While wandering around a modern city of Tokyo with increased uncertainty, she encountered four persons and communicated with them again and again.
The anxiety of loss, frustrations, doubts about her belief...... mixed feelings came to her, but she struggled to get her own memories back.
