As the title suggests, the film is a single man's voice that adopts a poetic approach to share the intentions of the narrative. Endowed with a lyrical quality, it is essentially a philosophical musing about life and existence. <br><br> Thematic concerns span past, present and future, and thus, the nature and flow of time. It damns humans to being shells of hollowness, but then double backs to ask a pertinent question - is it truly possible for shells to feel heartache? Is it possible for a hunter to show kindness? And most importantly, is it possible for a survivor to emerge a winner? All of these thoughts are further coupled with visuals exhibiting skill and smoothness, to complete the final product as a comprehensive, cohesive whole.
