I am the Other

The film tells a science fiction story: a certain 'consciousness' composed of virtual information tries to become a true 'existence.' After much inquiry, it learns that to achieve this, it must make someone give up their 'identity'—the social identity constructed by others.

Several segments feature footage from the real world: surveillance camera footage from the seaside of Nice, France; a recording of a passport being burned; and covert filming at the Chinese consulate in Marseille. The ideological elements subtly embedded in these different types of images are dissolved within a three-dimensional narrative that takes 'falsity' as its premise. This reflects the identity-related question revealed by the film's French title, 'Je suis l'autre' (I am the other): Is my physical existence, which contains all social information, merely a continuous process of becoming the other? How can I exist independently relative to all other identities?
