Movie - 2015, 2h 15m • as Director
In 2015, an actress is casting for a sci-fi disaster film set in 2003. Dialogues in the audition jolted her memories when she recalled being a stand-in actress on one fateful night in 2003. “Were such memories once real? Or is it just a story?” she doubted. People in front of her looked oddly familiar, overlapping with people she encountered from the past. In this short, the actress experiences the mystical passage of time, but no one is sure if it is forward or backward. At this very moment, could she be simply playing a role from the past?
