A mother and child become a question mark the camera won't stop asking. The facelessness isn't abstraction for its own sake, it's the only honest way to show how family dissolves the boundary between self and other, leaving nothing recognizable behind. This is a film for anyone who has felt love erase their own outline.

A mother and her child stand motionless in a housing project park during the early afternoon, a picture that seems to stand for beauty and love. Yet neither of them has a face. After they vanish, the camera keeps pointing at the spot where they stood, as though trying to find something there. Takashi Ito made this film out of a wish to grasp how family and selfhood relate to one another.
