The issue of pandemics and the application of health protocols is the most common problem in each location, as well as in other parts of the world. The existence of the Corona virus that is not visible in front of the eyes, makes some people see it not as a dangerous threat. This film records fragments of events from various perspectives of citizens. The stories of each location are combined into visual poems, which may or may not be related. The most important thing from this film’s story is how culturally the people face the pandemic which was recorded with the simplest cameras.
