Story:
A film student buries herself in cinema to avoid her miserable family, and imagines her family members as characters in a film that she writes and directs.

Her seemingly ridiculous imagination is her only escape from her mundane life, until the bubble of fantasy pops.

Director‘s Statement
As a film student, I want to explore the process of filmmaking while discussing about how the form of filmmaking becomes its content. This “pointless film”is not only the film I made but also the same film as the one made through the main character’s “kino-eye”. I also try to depict a dying marriage and a lifeless family based on my own life experience in a fun and varied way.
