Synopsis
This woman detests her marriage and family life. Her husband sometimes yells at her, but sometimes can pick her up; her son is close to her but occupies her body too. In this film, those close-up shots make her look like the woman suffering from domestic abuse on the TV news. Her figure is broken into pieces in her shattered life. This film records her reckless words intensively. However, is this film strong enough to prove her misery? Why don‘t we ask: if her miserable life is not so typical, how could she express her sorrow?
