We see only what we want to see. If we assume that the creators of this film are a single individual, an individual who is participating in "art therapy" psychological counseling, and we only interpret the meaning of "politics" and "economics", it is , we do not really understand this "absurd" "neural" individual. Although it is understanding, we really need to understand a person, understand what a person wants to express, or what is behind, we need to know more about himself than he does. This is a grotesque and abstract story, and a "giant dream". If we use "concrete reduction", we can only restore the reduction in our cognitive level, not the overall picture.
However, we can vaguely feel the "symbols" behind those shots, objects, and events, and perhaps we only need to clearly outline those "symbols", and we can understand more than the story itself wants to express. The restoration of this "symbol" is actually not difficult.

If our "eyes" only see "floors", "kitchens" and "pits", we naturally make the interpretation that we "have to" "struggle" on "classes", and this is our "obviousness".
Every symbol, every combination of symbols, will be a "story" and become a new "symbol". Perhaps this is also an endless "pit". We are fortunate to have some wine here, waiting for numbness, feeling that we are one Only "snail".
The story may be that we are the "Miharu", constantly looking for the "girl"'s redemption and self-unification, but the reality is that we are brutal or killed, and we keep falling.
The story may be that we are worried about being "shit", holding a "formal diploma" but helpless to the "knives and sticks" in the world, sighing at the ruthlessness of "traffic lights", but we must follow them.
