CELLAR

WANG Liao • 2017

This is a black and white silent film. A young man feels numb from repeatedly satisfying his own desires and thus falls into confusion about his state of existence. With the help of the light of attention, he gropes for himself in the chaotic mental space. I don’t know when he will find that he is only one step away from the answer. But even after the confirmation, he will still have to toil and strain within the cycle of his own desires. Maybe one day, he will find the trick to satisfying desires, when he realizes that he can satisfy his desire to break free from desires by confirming the answer.
