OSIKI starts at a beach on a parallel universe and ends with a daybreak ride on another planet…

I did this film because I wanted to talk about my friends, the people I love. I decided that their trivial everyday lives have the same extent and intensity as the imaginary projections of their mind, their darkest thoughts, their illusional perception of the world.
