Unique prophecy

The first half of the film is in a silver-gray tone, showing an extremely magnificent world of reinforced glass. How whimsical it was in that era, but now it seems to be worse. The second half focused on the newly renovated nightclub, with people of all kinds, up and down. The real group show seemed chaotic, but in fact, each type of people has their own things to do. There is almost no dialogue throughout, only the background sound and performance are used. There are many bright spots and smiles that can be touched without being funny, interesting and vivid, and impressive.
