In this film, dialogue is kept to a minimum. Instead, the story is driven by the protagonist Masashi’s physical struggle after losing his sense of belonging. Trapped in a deserted ruin with nowhere to escape, we hope you will witness his inner conflict and raw emotion. We aimed to portray the characters’ subjective sense of ‘salvation’ and the objective reality of ‘hell’ through the contrast of light and shadow. Although the film is only about 15 minutes long, we challenged ourselves to create a sense of scale like that of a feature film.
