A couple who have been together for a long time are witnessing their own traces filling their familiar house.
Script
A couple enter an empty house (like folded box) They pop up the folded furniture, start the life living together.
Their repetitive routine leave traces everycwhere in the small planar place. Sometimes they lay on the sofa, sometimes they argue, for who forgot to use up last week's tomatoes. Most of time the couple just stay in different corner, doing personal stuff. With the time passing by, too many traces occupy the room, suck everywhere.
A big hand from the back of planar paper, fold the whole room to a paper crane. The god-view couple put it on a giant ground --- where already setting so many paper cranes.
The paper crane start to move, jump forward until it's out of the frame. It come back to the new-married wife's hand. Before she notice, the shutter of the camera is pressed.
The theme of this film is the daily life of couples, expressing the breaking-in and maintenance of relationship through surreal character.
The two main characters linked by a silk fabric most of time, as a symbol of accompaniment. In the cool gray of detachment, their thoughts appear as graphic symbol around the room, some identical, some not so much.
The whole visual setting distorting, to alien their relationship from real world. We chose to have all events take place in one fixed camera in order to visualize the sense of a long closed life and transition them with distorted animated shapes.
Layout of the room is flattened to enable the audience to easier capture the movement of the characters in every shot.Most color and render texture of character are abandoned, replacing with varying thicknesses of the line, the couple moves and leave traces behind them, creating a cubist composition that dominates the entire frame at the end (as in the painting “The Naked Woman Descending a Staircase”).Finally, the return of a realistic perspective metaphorically reconstructs the routine. Under the couple’s large hands, the paper, full of messy traces, is folded into a paper crane. They place a new one on the paper and move on to a new life.
