Summary:

In this meditation on the nature of time, Koji Yamamura creates a poetic clash between two worlds, exploring the irrepressible human desire to freeze our fleeting moments of happiness. The filmmaker moves freely between the lives of photographer Eadweard Muybridge and a Japanese mother, observing their attempts to suspend the course of life.
