The Tunnel

The film proposes a representation of absence through a script written by the protagonist of the documentary, a young Taiwanese who helps the film crews to find locations for films and at the same time acts as an extra in some productions. The script written by the protagonist himself speaks of his family, of his mother so dedicated to work that she lived an incomplete life and died at an early age, and of his father, who is shown as an absent figure, gambler, whoring and abuser. This dichotomy between fiction based on reality and reality based on fiction is what builds an interesting exercise that talks about the human being, using as a setting an abandoned tunnel that was used by the army, and that appears here as a representation of an unpredictable life, full of hidden corners.
