Kami is about those who are almost invisible in the most visible of places within a city. A teenager, a busker, an immigrant street-vendor: they are usually overlooked, passed by, and unnoticed by those who are more concerned with consumerism. Here, three lives are abstracted from the relentless stream of people and traffic that is the movement of city existence. Kami is in essence a spirit who touches these three individuals, whose paradoxical course is initiated by an uncharacteristic act of generosity. Each of the three characters passes on a gift: a tenderness, a beauty, a joy. Immersed in a world of noise and inane chatter they each exist in a space described by an interior score. An act of kindness can release a spirit that can flow in a different time, a redemptive time.Read moreLess
