This film talks about five free spirits as the director encounters them. Freedom in this film is not romantic but desperate, trying to break the chains of life that drive people living today in one direction. They dream of a life that doesn’t have to take a job as a dream, or pursue economic stability as a life goal, but on that finds true meaning. This is something people all dream of realizing yet end up accepting as nothing but a fantasy. The film delivers the voice of people who try to cope with the ordeal of being imprisoned and free at the same time. Another name for freedom is poetry. To read poems is to enter a formless collection of times, not a purpose-oriented time that exhibits an array of things to be done. In this sense, the film seems to be a poem itself. It doesn’t march forward to a certain thematic consciousness but develops in an open structure with simple mise-en-scène. By doing so it makes audiences ask themselves: “Is my life indeed okay?” The film chooses to remind “me” of “myself” instead of removing it. “I,” revealed in text and voices, am the center of the network and the protagonist of the “time to read poems.” The film follows, finds and investigates me as who I am.less
