The concept of this work is about the Buddhism principle called Anatta or the non-existence.
Anatta in Buddhism has a very complex meaning. But in this short lm.I am talking about the same thing,
but on a simpler level. I compare humans in the story to a rat and something slowly ate that rat is its needs.
 Causing the rat to have something to eat to fulll the needs all the time . It’s like endless loops. The darkness is the fear. Seeing itself in the water makes the rat understand something. Makes the rat understand what it truly is. 
And then it has no fear.  When you truly understand yourself then you don’t have to fulll something.
 Your body will slowly be eaten until it’s gone. The only left is emptiness. And that’s Anatta.
