SYNOPSIS

The documentary production team "NOWHERE" is preparing to shoot a natural science documentary about beetles, while editing a medical documentary including the clips of surgical operation about brain tumor. The protagonist Oh Dona thinks of death at the end of futureless love with the neurologist Myung-jin who permits their shooting in brain tumor surgery.

DIRECTING INTENTION

A death agitates the life of characters with various faces. The death as physical extermination, the ambiguous dread floating in unconsciousness, the last action decorating the end of despair, the breath in lifeless of spiritless individual. A death controls their action in the sense of several characters. In that way, the ritual of death is performed indistinctly like intense and dreamy state. The fiction and document are blended vaguely in the boundary of reality and dream. This film dreams of minimum truth in the cycle of language and image as a meaning in disguise.
