SYNOPSIS
The woman, an independent film director, is in self-quarantine. This is because a two-week self-isolation order was issued after contact with a COVID-19 confirmed patient. She makes up mind to complete the scenario she has put off in this period. However after writing a sentence "A man runs" in the beginning, she begins to be constantly disturbed. On the other hand, the main character in the woman's movie, "Man," starts running according to the scenario, but unlike in the beginning, he gets tired as time goes by.
DIRECTING INTENTION
In the era of COVID-19, everything shrank and became cautious. Nevertheless, our will to create continues, and the process is still painful. In this film, I would like to ask questions about the nature of the act of creation, humorously depicting the tension between the film director who has difficulty completing the scenario and the character in the scenario.
