SYNOPSIS

In this film, we will see some people living in this capitalist world; a woman in her thirties, a laid-off worker, a man in his fifties with panic disorder, an illustrator without stable income, and a woman expressing her pain of discrimination with poetry and paintings. For the first time, each of five people has time to talk about who they are and why they feel insecure in each position.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Time of capital constantly deletes the existence of human beings. I would like to open the mouths of people who could not speak up for themselves, because they thought that their pain was minor in misery of the world. I wanted to revive the forgotten sense of the people who became hardened to many things, because there was no place for them to stand up in this world and because everything was forfeit for a long time. I would like to feel possibility of a different world together, instead of meaningless life, futility or despair. Thus, I made a decision to borrow the power of poetry. Poem is the most sincere language, pray and song from the depths of misery.
