Beyond the Mirror

Overview

A barefoot boy with frightened eyes. He wanders the streets, rides the bus, and wanders the fields without speaking. In the passing landscape, he sees red balloons, deer heads, puddles of blood, the Japanese flag, the Old Testament, an old man...Then, with a gunshot, he collapses. In this film, the boy's closed mind to the outside world is painstakingly portrayed through a variety of images, and his sincere feelings are quietly conveyed.
