Koji Morimoto’s film breaks down traditional storytelling by using non-human entities and sensory experiences. It avoids human-centric social structures and offers a unique, postmodern perspective. However, its abstract nature means it doesn’t provide specific, active representations of underrepresented groups.

The narrative focuses on sensory experiences and critiques rigid systems through the conflict between Noise and Music.
