A young girl lives in an all-white room, and all she does every day is eat, sleep, and wait for a knock on the door. Until one day, an unexpected visitor enters her place, and the knock she was waiting for never comes back.

The film is adapted from a story I wrote. People were invited to review and edit the draft story from the perspective of strict cultural censorship, and the edited story was produced as a short film.

“…censorial authority in recent times has resembled not so much a man-eating tiger or fire-snorting dragon as a giant anaconda coiled in an overhead chandelier. Normally the great snake doesn’t move. It doesn’t have to. It feels no need to be clear about its prohibitions. Its constant silent message is ‘You yourself decide,’ after which, more often than not, everyone in its shadow makes his or her large and small adjustments—all quite ‘naturally.’ “
