A square on the campus of Chinese University of Hong Kong, where students cross, meet or talk on their phones.
Different layers of documentary and staged images show the multitude of personal realities that are present on one spot. First of all it’s the people’s voices that illustrate the richness of each moment. These voices link people and would form, were they visualized, a whole jungle of threads in the air. The camera penetrates the space easily as an occasional spectator never could.
