The opposition of passion and emptiness, poetry.

A middle-aged man without passion in a sweatshirt, listening to classical music, looking at the chirping little girl and the young man with sunglasses.
There are some long thematic memories, but the life back may be like this.
Supplies for hiking youths, two bottles of water, one sambal, and a pack of chips. Some suggest that this is the essence of life, simple food, long unknown and tedious journeys.
In the conversation, the young man said he was interested in philosophy and concluded that he was a philosophy and a girl; the middle-aged man concluded that he was a computer and a girl.
At the end of the scene, he faces the camera for a while, and what is meaningful is that his eyes never look at the camera, and they wander and wander again.



After reading it, the director himself likes poetry and music.
