Replacing all dialogue with written text, be it on the page or the screen, the film presents a philosophical rumination. The protagonist is in pursuit of finding the meaning of beginnings and ends. He seeks them within the covers of endless books in a library. The pursuit sends him down the road of reflection, as he recalls his own life, from one stage to another, from happiness to loss. 
As all of these different components are weaved together, the plot and story of the film come together as a cohesive, comprehensive whole. The search continues, albeit not without its culs-de-sac and long circuitous paths. At the end of it all, however, would the protagonist finally arrive to find what he is seeking?
