TICO TICO LIFE
On the eve of graduation, I deposited the red envelopes I collected during the New Year into the bank. Meanwhile, my soon-to-start live streaming job demanded an advance deposit. Shuttling between the church, the bank, the parking lot, and the garbage dump, I remained ensnared in the system's cage. What roles are we truly playing? This is not merely the confusion of a single youth, but a symptom of an era—where everyone employs role-playing to confront the void and absurdity to counteract absurdity. The film examines the existential states across different social spaces, inquiring if we can still reclaim our true selves amidst the role-playing and absurdity.
