3) un tilleul~~Sakura
    The film begins in a snow setting with Sakura stood next to a tree. He picked up a box from the snow floor and then the scene switch to a flashback (?). It's a dark and dirty room, a beast hand knock on the lock door fiercefully. Then we see Sakura lying on the floor and counting "7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,..." and at "1", the story move to Sakura's dream (?) where there's a devil version of himself (punk hair, heavy makeup with flower patterns on his face), tempting Sakura who sit on a chair with money, power, woman...., and there are cut away of a worm being "polluted" by color paint/dust. Now the music is errie and haunting. At last, Sakura lost everything, and he woke up from the dream immediately. After he woke up, he went to the sink and discovered some red dust in his ear (and there's a worm inside). Meanwhile, someone opened the door; however, whenever Sakura looked back, he saw no one. Sakura then cut his hair and walked into that room. Inside the room, he found a box (similar to the one at the beginning), he opened it and found a key. Then he stick that key on the wall and a door suddenly appeared. He entered the door and found himself inside an empty room with nothing there (just all white). Sakura then floot in the air (as if he reach nivarna or something) and saw his clothes lied on the floor, as if his spiritual state had left his physical body. Then a beast hand appeared and it reached for the key that was inside Sakura's jacket. The story switched back to the beginning of the tree scene, Sakura left the box behind. It ended with weird cultural background music.

    Wheww...the atmosphere of this film is so dark and scary. The horror movie setting is so haunting. The film is full of imageries and metaphors, and I can hardly get the meaning of any of them. The special effects and computer graphics are very well-done. BTW, Sakura's acting is not bad! ^_^
