Bittersweet Survival
Predicaments are complex equations of structure and choice. To survive in the cracks is to constantly navigate a tug-of-war between dignity, morality, and belief—yet how much room to move exists within the walls of the siege? Even in moments of survival against all odds, the inner storm—relentless and overwhelming—never truly subsides. Survival is never mere luck. And there is no need for apology.

Encore, Before the Goodbye
"My Bucket List" holds no grand dreams, only 100 little things yet undone, and a "see you tomorrow" that was never properly spoken. The same goes for "Encore: Before Saying Goodbye"—here, eternity is left unmentioned; there is only the desire to perform one last song for oneself before the lights go down. The scars of youth, the terror at the edge of the boxing ring, the wordless closeness between strangers, and the farewells quietly practiced in daily life—six films, each rehearsing the very same question: If only an encore remains, what sound do you wish to leave behind?
