So I
This film is a hand-drawn animation exploring the concept of animation through dance movements. In the meanwhile, it gives a perspective about loneliness, the inevitable isolation of the physical body as well as taking an introspective approach, through finding sources on self and self-exploration. “Sometimes the thing I've been longing for doesn't exist in places I can see, So I decided to dance.”
