In the typewritten text Cha describes the film as "a simultaneous account of a narrative, beginning at two separate points
in Time. The two points function almost as two distinctive narratives, the "Times" overlap during the diagesis of the film
and a final conversion of the two points are achieved to one complete superimposition, to one point in Time." Narrative I
"begins in the Past, within the interior of memory itself. The memory materializes physically on the screen...the screen is
the memory projected-the viewer "sees" physically, the memory images." Narrative II "begins in the Present, with the Telling
and Retelling process of the "Recit."..(she) is at the moment of return to retrieve events past." The two Narratives merge
in the end.
