Storyline & Synopsis

In an endless desert, Jin walks. Unsure if the path is right—or if a path even exists—her steps grow heavier. Then she meets Kimbak, a woman silently circling in place. No answer, no pause—only motion. Eventually, Jin joins her. In that repetition, something shifts. Movement persists, even when its reason fades. The trace may vanish, but something remains. "Believe—your life has not been in vain. Your pain, your existence—none of it was meaningless." (from Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection”) Shot on 16mm and combining hand-drawn direct animation with stop-motion, this experimental short reflects on stillness, endurance, and the quiet meaning found in continuation.
