Director Statement

Many years ago, I asked Bruno Dumont a rather childish question, "What is cinema?"
He thought for a while, and answered me in all seriousness, "This is a metaphysical question, it is no different from if you asked me, what is life?"
It seems like there is a mysterious relationship between cinema and life.
My film is just a question.
