DIRECTING INTENTION
I am very shy to write this; when I wanted to make every film, I have had to release something from my heart since the first
film I made. At that time I began this project, I had no idea what this film would be about. I was haunted by an image of
man who is becoming a tree, a bird, and a girl. I was thinking about what I wanted, and I created a plot of
This story is about the three characters who were haunting me, and I hoped that the fir whom I loved could be happy.
