Director's Note
I/He tries to discover what exist inside oneself from the other. Here, trying almost means the same as praying. Prevailing notion of self-love must be clearly distinguished from the excess of self-consciousness. Love inevitably directed toward oneself. Nevertheless, the fact and imminence that I/he has to look for the other inside me/him to survive
Removal of the symbol is an advent of the symbol, which had never been experienced, yet exists. Grains of the symbol scattered as a fog, those are invisible and light but press me down as a mass.
