SYNOPSIS
My wife is dying. From the hospital window I witness a murder. The murderer sees me and chases me through maze-like streets. I save myself, go into a bar, meet a prostitute, and get into a fight with her. I kill her by accident and become a murderer, and go back to wandering the maze. I want to leave this place but I can't find an exit. One night I come across the same place I had witnessed the murder, and I find myself...
DIRECTING INTENTION
The city is cold. It always has been. Since the 80's which were my youth, I had always seen shadows and heard screaming and hysterical laughter in the alleys at night. In the end this film is about violence. It's difficult to live in a world where violence is king. I wanted to show how violence circulates and ultimately harms the one who caused it first. I also wanted to show how deeply ingrained violence is in our daily lives. I wanted to show how it controls us and limits us.
