Program Note
A man returns to his old hometown after a long time, only to find his house infested with ants, which he finds bothersome. Based on the director’s personal experience when visiting his hometown, this film captures the uncomfortable perspective of the current generation when looking at the previous generation. What stands out is the use of 16mm film and the casting of non-professional actors from the local area, which shows the director’s charming endurance in his directorial intent. (Kristin JI)
