A man watches his identical twin go under the knife and tries to film it like documentation, except the camera becomes a way of not falling apart. Nothing happens in the conventional sense, no music swells, no dramatic cuts, just two brothers and the space between them shrinking as one of them might not come back. By the end you understand that Murata wasn't making a film about surgery; he was making a film about the person he might have lost, and what he needed to say before it was too late.

Tomoyasu Murata made these two short films about the heart surgery of his identical twin. The subject is personal: an artist turning to a sibling who shares his face as that sibling faces a serious operation. Released as a movie in two parts, the work is brief and focused on a single family event rather than a larger story.
