TIME TABLE
SYNOPSIS
Blinded by love, Noni decides to give one of her eyes to her blind lover. With that eye, he finally sees the world and, the next morning, boards the first train to leave alone. At the end of Noni’s great courage and devotion, all that remains is an empty space where her eye once was, and a silent, vacant room. Marc, Noni’s closest friend, on his way to see her left alone, encounters unexpected landscapes along the path.
DIRECTING INTENTION
Even in loneliness, love persists. When we begin to worry about the loneliness of the person we brought into our hearts out of our own loneliness, we realize that we are in love with them. And the moment we realize love, we become willing to endure being alone for the one we love. If this love can last through loneliness, we will come to love even that loneliness itself. I wanted to express these complex and beautiful human emotions through characters. This is how Noni and Marc, both sadly in love with someone, were born.
