Through the recounting of a dream—an image from the past that insists on reappearing—the film dissects and displays the very materials it’s made of: still photography, moving image, narration, as if these cinematic elements were minerals and gems in a museum showcase. In doing so, it transforms them into an evocative exploration of what is preserved and what is lost. An archive of broken and silent images? A mausoleum of time? By weaving together fragments of memory and cinematic form, the film not only examines the nature of preservation but also invites reflection on cinema itself. What became of its promises, its potentials, or, to from Gilles Deleuze and Thom Andersen, the thoughts we once had?

Hi, my name is Weegee. I am a dog. On my license, it says I am a cockapoo, but I don’t know what that means. My parents adopted me five years ago and named me Weegee, after the famous photographer. They always tell me that I channel him, because I am a character, and hold my toys in my mouth like a cigar, just like the original Weegee. That guy called himself "Weegee the Famous", but I want to be famous-er.

I focused on how the landscape is transformed when the wind as a weather phenomenon streams through the rice paddies cultivated by humans. It also portrays the lives of the farmers who cultivate these paddies and the local residents who share this environment. Weather such as wind, rainfall and sunshine are important elements in cultivation, and humans cultivate and harvest while anticipating these elements, and in this way they sustain human life. Rice paddies are not protected like a greenhouse, and they are cultivated under harsh conditions such as typhoons, droughts, and cold weather. I observed the constantly changing and transforming appearance of the rice paddies through the process of cultivation and weather. I expressed the changing landscape by connecting the sound of wind chimes, which reflect the weather, with the cultivation process.

Exiles are asked questions concerning their life, (plans), and reasons for (their choices). The film tries to communicate the feelings of the displaced when being confronted with such questions which are drawn from the director's memory. A parody of misinformation and of broken systems, and an exploration of feelings of confusion, loneliness, and uncertainty.
