Our life is discrete and consists of a relatively small number of significant episodes, which, when consistently combined into a time series, create the image of a specific person. So twenty-four static frames, passing in a second before the viewer’s eyes, form the illusion of meaningful movement.

Growing up, he gradually begins to understand how endless and mysterious the world around him is, in which the destinies of people come into contact in a complex way.
