Butterfly Co.
Duration: 10’48’’
Caught in the monotony of a reality that stifles him — a rigid job, oppressive authority, and the dull weight of bureaucracy — a man drifts through a world that feels increasingly alien. A butterfly appears, delicate yet decisive, leading him toward an unexpected passage into an imaginary space. There, he touches the promise of freedom — a space where expression seems possible. But the illusion soon fades. Even in this dreamscape, walls remain. As he moves through shifting landscapes of his subconscious, he confronts what binds him, until he finally reaches the only true exit: an inner awakening.
