Program Note
The outside world doesn’t exist, all that exists is inside the ward of a hospital for terminally ill patients; The camera is patiently recording an old man, whose life activities can only be carried out in his bed. He constantly complains about the inability of his body; then there are his fantasies, his murmuring, as well as his memories which he often forgets. The film documented the last moments of life, facing death in the eyes, and seeing into nothingness. With an unexpected ending it exposes what is hidden beneath.
