DESCRIPTION
Self-documentary built from overly sincere and poetic notes, low quality videos from old stolen handy cam and naive fragile reflections bounded together in attempt to understand how a young and lost girl can become friends with reality. She left home and came across the globe to Asia. She searches for true feelings, but is afraid of love.
This ego-movie represents a state of chaos that hides under the cover of ordinary things. Chaos that person cannot avoid or solve. Chaos that is called life.
METHOD
The film was genuinely shot with an old Sony handy cam, complimenting the immaturity, awkwardness and simplicity of the main character. The narration is based on voiceover, and a large part of the film is devoted to personal diary notes.
CONTEXT
The film was shot in Hong Kong during an exchange program. Due to the distance from home, the main character discovers a distance between herself and her previous, ordinary life, which allows her to engage in deep reflection on it and discover true grounds of her sorrows.
