Detailed description

For Vega who became aware of death from an early age, life isn’t easy. He lives in a cold and futile sea filled with only solitude, apathy, and cynicism. The deer pop star that appears in front of Vega leaves a strong impression that sets the young man’s cold world on fire. The charming artwork and sensibilities of the direction portray life and the world in an original way, singing about the unreachable. No matter how much one tries to close the gap, things simply get twisted up. But the fact that the void can’t be filled by any amount of fantasy shows that it is the source of limitless imagination. KWON Seunghyun
