I created the entire project myself as both a 3D artist (Unreal Engine 5) and music composer - environments, cinematography, animation, sound design, original score, and editing.

The film is a surreal psychological story driven more by symbolism and atmosphere than dialogue.

After finding himself in a cave filled with mannequin-marionettes but no puppeteer, a broken figure walks toward the light and enters a hostile, empty world. As he moves through vast landscapes, fragmented memories, and visions that feel both external and deeply internal, the journey gradually becomes a question about control, perception, and whether reality itself can ever be separated from the mind that experiences it.
