SYNOPSIS
A little girl is living in a dreary space devastated by her mother’s abandonment and her father’s death. I intended to depict the girl’s process of seeking her own language. The lonely image of a little girl sitting in front of a huge desk inspired me to make this film. Most of all, the focal point is to show the interior spaces of the house as abstract geometric figures.
