Plot
In a space that seems to be shrouded in complete darkness, light finds a way to protrude, and somehow, warmth emerges. It is the New Year’s, a time to reconnect with family, friends, and have a nice time. It is a holiday of light and happiness. The time is life-affirming: by the celebrations and fireworks, people declare that they exist and that they will break through no matter how cold and miserable life may seem.
