This film is based on a mysterious incident my ex-girlfriend experienced.
Everything seems to be a lie.
Things here,
this place,
I myself,
and you.
Everything looks fake.
Somewhere in my head I feel everything exists here.
But then again.
There's another part of me wondering if it's real at all.
It used to be different.
How can I say...?
The sun looked like the sun.
How can I describe...?
The rhythm of nature...?
Something like that.
I thought my life was based on it.
But I don't know when I started doubting.
I became numb.
I started wondering
whether it was there to begin with.
So...
I can't concentrate.
I can't create.
I can't write.
I feel like I lost something vital in my heart.
Well... why don't you find a job?
Forget about scriptwriting for now.
When you're active, you won't go weird in your head.
I believe so.
I wish I could work on films, too.
But even if we don't want,
we have to earn for our living. Otherwise our life is finished.
That's not true.
This is more important than eating and drinking.
I know what you mean.
But we can't go on like this.
Right?
Everything is just reasonable.
What?
You actually know it, don't you?
You can't work on your new film
when you lost the vital thing in your heart.
Right?
Cut!
Well...
I see you've got a problem,
but I can't see what it is.
This is not what I want to express.
It doesn't convey what I want.
But you wrote those lines.
This is your script.
Now I understood,
after I played it by myself.
Can we start over?
If it was up to me, oh, yes, we could,
but this is no longer between you and me only.
We've already involved the crew.
What are we going to do with the 8 million yen we've already spent for this film?
Get into debt again?
That's impossible.
You've done something like this before.
You've already got another case like this.
What will happen if you quit this project in the middle,
and cause another trouble?
It's fatal.
You'll never find an investor for your project.
This project was already tough to finance with what you did in the past.
It's a small world. Everyone knows what you've done.
You seriously want to continue making films, right?
We came all the way for this film. Why don't we finish this one as it is?
Then you can start a new project with your new ideas.
I think you should finish this film.
Am I wrong?
Stop being amateurish.
I can't stand it anymore.
It's already collapsing, isn't it?
Isn't it?
I can't protect you anymore.
Don't you understand?
I need a donut!
Get me a donut!
We have to cancel today's shooting.
Ah, that's right...
Yeah, that's right...
Are you sleeping?
You must be exhausted. Please take a good rest.
I'm sorry for this afternoon.
I was a bit tough on you. But I believe in you.
Let's try our best from tomorrow.
Don't worry.
Our film is already great as it is.
Believe me.
I don't want to disturb your sleep.
I won't drop by today.
Good night.
Please call me if you need anything.
I'm so stupid.
Why am I keep crying?
No! No! No! This is not the time.
I told you, I don't feel alive.
Do you understand...?
Do you feel alive?
I don't.
I can't.
What is the rhythm of nature?
I don't feel it anymore.
I don't want to say stuff like this anymore.
Time is running out.
I can't breathe.
I wish everybody would die.
I'm a little tired.
I think I need a break for about a month or so.
I'm tired
In both spiritual and physical way I'm tired
I think I have to take my time and go through the points once again
Please don't look for me.
We are born to be happy,
not to be unhappy.
This moment, this state, this is the ultimate happiness.
I was born to achieve this,
therefore I can stay like this.
I wasn't wrong, isn't it?
Get yourself together (flipped and written backwards)
I knew you'd be here.
Are you also alone?
Yes.
Don't you feel lonely?
No.
It's great we came all the way.
Yes.
I feel my true self here.
I don't think I can go back to Tokyo.
Really...
Wherever you are, you are no one but you.
Whether you are here or there,
everything is just the mirror of your mind.
You've already begun to understand
that everything is just reflecting your mind.
You are always creating the world you see.
I have to go now.
Can I see you tomorrow?
I decided to stay here.
Really?
You've got someone waiting for you over there.
You've got things to do overthere.
Wherever you are, this place is always with you.
You'll be all right
Can you see?
Please nod if you can see this.
Don't worry, you'll be all right.
Please wait for a while.
Try it again.
Set it to 200.
Watch out.
1, 2, 3.
Set it to max.
Max. Power.
Watch out.
1, 2, 3.
10:22 a.m.
Are you sure you don't know her?
This is very important, please tell us if you do.
Still nothing identifying her?
No...
We cannot find any relatives
Poor girl, but for us it's another trouble...
Strange things happen.
It was a shock.
Two girls at once, from different places in the same state.
I thought it's that stuff on the media,
you know, strangers get together through websites
and kill themselves together.
Sorry, you're not ready to talk about this...
What separates the one coming back from the one going?
Very mysterious...
How are you feeling?
Everybody is worried and waiting in the hallway.
Shall I call them inside?
Do you want to see anyone particular?
Shall we wait till she settles down?
Please push this button to call us. Okay?
We'll come check you later.
After this incident,
she started a new life by breaking up with me,
her partner both in private and work.
I heard she is working hard like a different person supporting herself,
and planning her new film.
To be honest,
I think she made up most of this story this impressive near-death experience
by her imagination to change herself.
I feel it's too perfect to be true.
What happened is exactly like the image she had in her mind.
Anyway, after all, it doesn't matter whether it was true or not.
I just sincerely hope that she will be fine from now on.
