Synopsis

Through a fictional poet's dream combined with reality, the film follows the poet on his way to finding himself. He meets a talking sheep, which tells him that if he keeps walking he will find his own precious memories. The poet sets out to explore life and passes through three places, each with a story that urges him onward in search of himself. The first place is a wheat field, where the wheat tells him what the value of life is. The second is the home of a vagrant who took his own life, where a large tree tells him the vagrant's story. The third is a small road, where a car gives him something that belongs to him. In the last place he finds himself, and in the end the self is nothingness.
