Dust 2011

Directed by Michihito Fujii

Dust is a short drama about a group of young people who are struggling to find their place in life. Over the course of one night, they spend time together at a villa, carrying their own frustrations and difficulties with them. Like dust floating in the air, they may seem insignificant or easily overlooked, yet with the right movement or change in circumstances, they can rise again. The film uses the image of dust—and the contrast between being weighed down and being lifted by the wind—to reflect the uncertainty, pride, and struggles of young people trying to move forward.
