About Oath (Midnight Rain)
Oath (Midnight Rain) is the director's understanding and expression of samsara. When the life's "wish" is unfulfilled, the life can't really leave. The "Midnight" is a special moment when night and day, black and white, end and beginning coincide. The five cycles of life in one moment on a rainy night.
