Under confinement, the reality and the illusion become unbounded to me. Even if the door in the reality is open, which direction will it lead to? Gradually, I become prefer to look forward to the door in another dimension.

Once, once, once again, chasing, fleeing, smashing, looping.

Let’s go to a universe outside of this reality.

This experimental film is meanwhile a documentary of a physical theater performed by Tan Tan. It attempts to illustrate the illusions and journeys inside the mind of a prisoner of a society/one’s life, it talks about the infinite loop between imprison and freedom, reality and dream.
