There is an immersive reflection on communication and interaction, which intrinsically oppose coincidences to fate.
Feelings of uncertainty are erased by overwhelming hope that one day ‘the one kind of innocent happiness’ will belong to you, if the right decision is made in the present. The decisions are presented as waves of fluctuating perspectives; The camera is directed in ways that focuses on light and reflections, while you always remain the spectator of the scene. These elements, light, reflections and sound, are used to empathise changes in how things appear to be. It could be considered as the core reflection on communication, as mediums which allow communications, iterations and deceptions to take place. The main characters, a retired judge and a model, are used as symbols of righteous decision makers and innocent deceptions, with their roles overlapping and interchanging. While a never-ending feeling that something is going to shake, scatter and dissolve their world, slowly pervades them with terror and the urge of running directly into that thing. Hence the opposed feelings between making an active right choice and thinking is fate remain opened as magnets.

The writings focus on philosophical, psychological and sociological theories with incomprehensible metaphors but fresh like lemons.
