Time slips by quietly—days folding into each other, sometimes without shape or direction. Caught between circumstances and systems, everyday life feels beyond my control. As an immigrant, navigating public procedures becomes an encounter with a faceless, immovable force. I feel stuck—unable to move freely, speak freely. The frustration grows. People around me keep going, living, rushing ahead. I remain still. That silence, that pause—I called it “tacet”. Time is said to be shared equally, yet I began to wonder: what if time isn’t just linear, but lunar? Through self-reflection, I noticed changes—tiny shifts in my body, in my thoughts. Some caused by habit, others by outside pressures. These shifts echoed inside me, quietly, like reflections in a mirror. This film is shaped by personal experience—an attempt to capture those internal landscapes. The images carry fragments of emotion, subtle transformations, and quiet poetry that surfaced along the way.
