synopsis
Polychromatic facial planes, the glass eyes of the camera lenses, and fragmented thoughts all flash across the frame in this experimental film. Among the random fragments of multiple reality lies the dissected face of the medium, which stands between the sender and the recipient. Between two closed worlds, a web of meanings, relationships, and interactions develops, in which we try to cross paths with others, as well as ourselves.
