The film begins with a "Dog of Andalusia" style image. I don't mind if it's an imitation of Godard.

The film is interrupted by a sceptical narration, which pauses to describe the artist's anguish at not knowing how to end the film, even though he wants to. A light, self-assertive film that pretends to be a film imitation.
Based on a novel by Akagi Motoko; a physiological literary world written by a 20-year-old woman for a radio drama. While a girl misses the last train and spends the night in a phone booth, the words she speaks into the empty receiver impress us with her pregnant tenderness rather than the sadness of her separation from him. Gradually, as we see the gaps in her life, the death of her twin sister when she was a child, her desire to be independent from her mother, and the fact that she really misses him, the movement of images becomes the movement of emotions. The phone booth that is supposed to protect her from the rain looks like a womb, but it is actually cold. When she realizes this, the morning arrives.
A certain part of ourselves that we cannot see, represented by the "back of the front", is the key to understanding ourselves. To eat, to excrete, to reproduce... what is the meaning of life? Often, when we lose sight of this, we become ghosts with substance, wandering the streets. A familiar nursery rhyme melody, a door that suddenly appears in a river or in the grass, an Okinawan woman. An anthology of images using experimental techniques such as multiple exposures and elaborate filter work.
