Plots(1)

A member of cinema club at a high school commits suicide, leaving his will in the form of a film, and the other members of the group seek to understand his suicide by scrutinizing the film’s footage. However, they find that the film consists only of shots of everyday landscapes. The film achieves a meta-cinematic structure by use of this film-within-a- film format, while the narrative follows the protagonist, who becomes obsessed with shooting the same landscapes his friend had shot to solve the riddle.
