    Life as a choice. Should we intervene in the choices of others?

    A movie that feels as superficial as profound on the subject of suicide normalization. This ambivalence, is in fact, something that works quite well in its favor. It doesn't strike as overly dramatic, but it still packs all the emotions one would expect when covering such a topic.

    45 minutes were enough for me to feel close to the characters, to care about them, to wonder about their struggles, their dreams, their hopes, their disappointments.

    I feel that, for some, this movie can come as quite provocative and insulting (to those for whom life is an unquestionable obligation and bless). If that is your case, this is probably not for you. For those who are willing to accept a view through which life is, most of all, an individual right, I definitely recommend these well-crafted 45 minutes.

    Cliché, even if it's utopian

    "It is not always possible to touch a person's life. Most of the time the person is alone despite everything."

    But I don't know if this is because of the discomfort of the utopian universe or the numbness of the actors; Even seeing the message and the result was very tiring for me.

      Jun-Ting: I came here to die. Just like everyone else. I didn't think I would be here long. I thought this place would be depressing... that if I didn't kill myself immediately... I'd leave. But, sitting in this room... I felt peaceful. I didn't know why... But then I understood... everyone here at this hotel is... just like me. Just as lost. Just as lonely. It was the first time in my life I didn't feel alone. After that... I didn't need to die. But I still didn't want to live... so I just stayed here. I didn't know what else to do.
