Director Statement :

I am empty. I am nothing.
The only thing that floats in the void is the frustration of being alive.
I see the videos I made in the past.
Now, my daughters are a high school student and a junior high school student.
However, in the video, it stops they are as an elementary school student and kindergarten student.
What am I?
At that time, I didn’t know that there is a war going on in the future.
At that time, I didn’t know that my mind become sick and empty in the future.
In order to move forward now, the only thing I can do is to broil each papers one by one.
