Synopsis:
An eloquent girl, but difficult to communicate;
A suicide, it’s said it’s not like what it looks like;
Many times’ escapes from where she is, finally from the camera;
Hard search without results;
A story about communication, growth and destiny.

Director’s statements:
I’m always interested in the issue of communication between people. In this film, I try to discuss this issue again while focusing on the traces of a girl’s living. What’s interesting is, when I couldn’t continue my shooting, I found actually myself in the same situation as that girl did: she tried her best to approach to some subject, but the result is on the contrary. The only difference between us lies I took the camera, she had nothing but the wish.
