This film talks about the way we live and our values. A loner, gypsy-like character, Jiyoung Jang, is an amateur installation artist who lives a very isolated life. Her meaningless, passive life faces several events by the power of coincidence. It would be an absurdity to try to measure one’s quality of life with our own, or the society’s measuring stick. Human life is like Pandora’s Box, too ambiguous and magical to measure. This film is a strictly personal and sentimental visual poem about ‘pollution’ in the shape of a photo album. Things like physical or mental pollution cause the modern man to live and get sick on a polluted land that has been wasted by us. There is no specific harmer or victim. We are our own harmers and victims.
