a dream

The close-up shots with a sense of urgency and impact, the fast-paced narrative and the fast-switching storyline, the strong electronic music scrambles in, showing the chaos of dream-like fragments brought by desire. The chaos brought about by the smog and the sometimes remaining ideals interweave, so that the world has a beautiful artistic conception in the upside-down. Drugs are the embodiment of many human desires. When people fall into the cage of desire, the pain brought by them is multi-layered, and it is impossible to extricate themselves. Think twice about what you do, and don't fall into the trap of desire just because of a momentary pleasure. Of course, everything is as good as a dream, but reality does not allow dreams to be interrupted. Those who wander between dreams and reality have desires for success and desires for failures.
