Director's Note
I always obsess about loneliness and loss, perhaps the most serious loss of all is the loss of time. My aunt is about to be 60 years old. She often tells me seriously that she feels like she was 20 years old just yesterday.
How can she turn in this age all of a sudden? The certainty of repetition and the fear in his eyes were real. No one grows old slowly, It's always a sudden. time will be fleeting suddenly. How to soothe her emotion and spirit, or in other words, soothe my loneliness in the future. That's why I made this .
