During a piano practice session, Kazuyo Kotaka transforms the daily exercise of refinement into a reflection on her relationship with the audience, not only during performances but also in everyday life.
It becomes an act of self-affirmation, both as an artist and as a person, revealed through simple gestures: the movement of her hands on the piano, the way she walks, and the way she presents herself to the world.
Directed by Lorenzo Morandi
The short film received the Excellence Award at the Nikon Film and Photo Contest 2025.
