In the year 2020, when the world was forced to ‘change’, I wanted to confirm what changed and what did not change in me. The white mask I wore became the screen projecting my past. My family is sometimes hurt, but support me as I suffer from schizophrenia. We live today while looking for the answer to ‘Who are we?’

The relationships which could have been everlasting will end sometime. The time when I hold loved ones in my arms. The time when I fall asleep feeling the breathing of warm living things. We realize that there are wishes that never come true in this world. The memories of a broken family, and a breaking family. This film is about the days of our lives with a dying cat which has a hard time breathing due to incurable diseases.
