OVERTONE
A young artist loses the love of his life after only a month of living together. He returns to his studio, the place of his memories of his beautiful girlfriend, who used to be a model, but the loss is so great that even when he is eating or sleeping, he has realistic illusions, as if her death was his mistake. Then one day, as if obsessed by something, he begins to make a statue of her in clay. On the night he finishes the statue, the moonlight shining into his studio breathes life into the lump of clay. And when he wakes up, he meets his beloved again...
COCKROACH MAN
There's something that's been bothering Sato lately. His cigarettes are dwindling strangely fast. He wonders if he's smoking enough for two people. Or is there someone else smoking? Then he thinks. Is there really no one in the room when I'm not there? Then one day, a man in a pair of briefs appears from the wardrobe. The man, who sometimes tries to fly on the balcony, begins to ask practical questions and give his opinion to Sato, who spends her days in a state of apathy. What is his true identity...? The world stretches out beyond his sight. When he thinks about the overwhelming size of the world, he realises how small he is. Cutting off all contact with the outside world, Sato tries to hide his fear. By using subtitles for his conversations with the man, the film succeeds in expressing his closed world. The humorous touch of the film, depicting a small rebirth that took place over a few days, was made even more striking by the ending theme music.
