Overview
The man suddenly encounters a mysterious woman and has to fight against her. After two times of fight, he gains enlightenment. 'Everything is changed by the way of thinking. 'Mind' determines between fortune and misfortune.' This is a genre-mixed film, French Nouveau roman and Martial Arts. Narrative progresses with the man's inner mind statement. When he feels sorrow and anger, the day changes into the night and suddenly rain comes. And vice versa.
