Japan / Short Film 7'51''
Planned Happenstance
We interviewed a man working in an advertising company. How did the pandemic affect the life of this young man? What did he “learn” from it? It was not only human lives and economic activities that were lost due to the pandemic, but also some type of "opportunities" and "randomness", which had been found in our previous "normal" lives.
