live in a dream

It's an immersive experience. It's the world you see through Anthony's eyes. Everything you see and feel is unbelievable and incomprehensible because of the world he lives in. In his world, scenes, characters, and time are changing at any time, and this change is random. This random permutation creates endless possibilities, making his already dull nerves even more crowded and confused.

There is no need to analyze who the daughter is, where he is, and the sequence of events. None of this matters. Because this is a dream, everything is disrupted and reorganized, and even comes from imagination. The analysis based on the dream is meaningless, and this meaninglessness is actually what this film wants to express. In Anthony's mind, what he sees, hears and feels is like a broadcast that often goes on the radio. His life is like constantly exploring unknown areas and constantly solving suspenseful plots. What's worse, because there is no logic The relationship can be said, this kind of exploration and detection often has no direction, and there is no possibility of solution. He will live in a dream for the rest of his life, until he actually falls asleep and never wakes up.

    Laura: Yes.

    Anthony: Are you a nun?

    Laura: No.

    Anthony: Then why are you speaking to me as if I'm retarded?

  • Anthony: I am worried. It's very worrying. I mean... Losing all my things, everyone's just helping themselves, and... If this goes on much longer, um, I'll be stark naked. And, um, I... I won't be able to tell what time it is.
