Plot Summary
This is a human being who just walked away from the sealed "forbidden city", dragging with him a long and gray shadow that reflects his struggling out from the rural civilization as well as his dubious and anxious entry into to the highly commercialized society. He is now in the city where the commercial culture fills everywhere. People lead their lives on a floating and swelling materialized mountain without knowing that the bottom is nowhere. A pervasive flood of images and forms have been pouring in from every direction, overfilling his eyes and ears, leaving him too powerless to make his own judgments. When nights approach the city with colorful neon lights, he feels he is becoming a puppet controlled by desire and temptation, playing different roles in the noisy city life.
