SYNOPSIS

In a small and stuffy cell, the prisoner's only hope is drawing pictures in empty spaces of the books which have been provided with for the prisoners to read. He sometimes draws sexy women and gives it to an old fellow who rations food to him, and instead, he is given a pencil to draw. One day, his drawings are detected by the jailor and he is deprived of all books and pencils. He is desperate, but then, his old fellow passed on to him another pencil and he starts drawing his hopes on the wall of the cell. Suddenly, the picture on the cell is being alive, and he goes out of the window in his living picture...

DIRECTING INTENTION

Once I drew a picture on the corner of a notebook unintentionally. At that time, I was not quite satisfied with myself. However, I was able to meet the future that I've been dreaming in my drawing. Although the present was not always as same as the dreamed future, I felt better as drawing a picture. The prisoner's future is even less hopeless. He only meets his future of dream in his drawings. Even though it's not where he lives in right now, the moment he is drawing would be the happiest time in his life in the cell. Happiness is not far away from everyone.
