Synopsis

On that familiar night, a sense of anxiety and fearful emotions came over me. Countless thoughts and questions followed.

Director's Comment

Often our minds are filled with fear and anxiety. At times like that, I would always try to run away from that fearful and dark feeling. But it is no longer a way to ignore and abandon me. I tried to reflect on how to take a new path of loving myself, which I used to hate.

Program Note

The main character feels sudden anxiety and goes on a journey to explore her own inner turmoil. She fights her own demons and tries to control her feelings until she finally realizes the duality of emotions and confronts the scars of her past. The film doesn’t avoid deep fears or painful memories. Instead, it tells each of us to accept ourselves and reminds us of our potential with a comforting message.
