Résumés(1)
The main character is a laid-back high school kid. He is cool, but somehow detached. He finds an outlet however when he purchases a Zoom H4 portable recorder. Suddenly his experience of the world is estranged in ways that are fascinating to him. He seeks out new sounds and new sequences, becoming alive to the world in a way jaded teens rarely seem to be. However he must combat the potentially deleterious effects of having his reality merge with what he hears in a microphone. (Monterrey International Film Festival)

Dependency on technology is shown in a clever and convincing way. In this case, it is a dependence on recording devices, where the main character, a young man, wants to have sounds recorded as if he could preserve them just like that. But his world starts falling apart because of it. It's as if he can't perceive sounds any other way than through a recording device. Interesting self-destruction with the possibility of redemption. However, it is a bit lengthy.
