life on the other side

With casual eyes, he is looking for the private place beside us that we are not aware of, and trying to tell us his existence.

The director is just proving his existence, but he has not solved it or found the answer.

What is the "other side of life"? In the director's mind, the answer to this question may be like the end of the film. Aksu turns his back to us and faces the sea. , we couldn't see his expression clearly, nor could Aksu clearly see what the sea was thinking.

In fact, everyone in the film can almost meet and hug, but this is not life. Life is a night passerby walking in the dark, lonely, fearful, dazed, hoping for someone to accompany you, sometimes life will be pitiful, and sometimes cruel and ruthless.


Sometimes I think it's mediocre, and sometimes I think it's really good, it's bad because it doesn't have an answer, and it's good because it doesn't have an answer. Who knows? Hehe. Wandering between "okay" and "recommended", I gave "recommended".
