People Outside

The film tells a narrative of two characters who are experiencing very different types of internal crises, however both are in desperate need for empathy and human connection. Their inner emotions, fears, and feelings are presented through the metaphorical environments - a tree with mirrors hanging everywhere, and an empty field on a windy day. The film creates a contrast between the chaotic, and exaggerated reality of personal emotion, and restrictive, ordinary reality of the real world. By focusing on characters who navigate public spaces while carrying private weights, I aim to reflect how social norms become obstacles to connection, as people are taught to stay by themselves and never share anything with anyone. This explores the paradoxical factor of human condition: we are surrounded by people, yet we remain profoundly isolated.
