息を殺して
Hold Your Breath Like A Lover
Nippon Visions ½
December 30, 2017: A handful of workers spends the night in a seemingly abandoned factory, playing video games, battling out love conflicts and aimlessly walking through gloomy offices and corridors. In between, a dog gets lost and ghosts of the dead return. A dark view on a future pre-apocalyptic Japan, presented in ambiguous images exerting a unique pull.
