A desperate man stands in front of a dimly illuminated aquarium, full of blind cavefishes, with only the hum of the water filter breaking the silence. The light from the tank casts a soft blue glow, illuminating his tear-streaked face. The camera pans to a wide angle, revealing a grim, barren room with crude furniture. A single unused ‘kirri’ or traditional seat, is spotlighted by a red glow from a faulty neon sign outside the window. The man’s gaze focuses on a photograph, purposely placed on a table within the camera’s depth of field – a picture of him and a woman, both smiling, a stark contrast to his current predicament. His face displays a stricken expression, a man scammed and betrayed. The camera slowly zooms into the man’s face, highlighting the quiet despair and loneliness enveloping him. A sudden movement; he squares his shoulder, hinting at an upcoming decision or action. The room is bathed in ethereal blue and red, underscoring the dramatic mood.
