English title: The Days.
The life of a young couple, he a painter and she an Art School graduate. As their financial situation deteriorates, so does their marriage. As the husband becomes increasingly detached from immediate reality, the woman starts to make concrete plans.
Another despondent look at Asian life. The filmmaker has a poetic sensibility which I appreciate, but somehow he lacked the means (either financial or technical) to take into account all the details (direction of actors, a script which would show things happening instead of using voiceover, a bit of clarity regarding such events in the narrative as what happens to an upcoming child) which film as a final product usually requires. I saw the 75 minute version, which may account for some of the problems I pointed above; subtitling may have played a part too.
