Synopsis

Humans appeared on Earth and have made endless efforts to survive. As if there’s no tomorrow, they’ve been enjoying life to the fullest while causing harm to the planet. But now, the game that once seemed infinite is nearing its end.

Director's Comment

With nothing but their intelligence and ability to cooperate, small and insignificant humans came to dominate this vast Earth. Yet they continue to kill each other in the name of survival. I wanted to depict this historic moment in some unique way.

Program Note

Millennia of human history have been condensed with witty directing and outstanding animating, from the hunter-gatherer era to the age of artificial intelligence across the wondrous march of technological advancements. And the nature of humanity hiding underneath is laid bare. As we trace mankind’s ceaseless trajectory, we can’t help but ask ourselves about the meaning and direction of human existence with a sorrowful heart.
