| #6 Care Frictions
(BALi, KulturBahnhof Kassel)

After retiring from the People's Liberation Army in China, an officer relocates to a Buddhist monastery. There, he is tasked with managing the temple’s thousands of keys – but matching them seems impossible. Leveraging his computer science expertise, he attempts to establish a perfect key management system. Meanwhile, his daughter films his silhouette. The two exist in close proximity, yet every opportunity for communication remains unspoken.
