“KUU” is a film but not usual film.
“Awakening?” “It’s scary!”
some people say like this,
but awakening in KUU means
“Awaken your real power sleeping in yourself.”
Sometimes you have problem,
cannot be solved even tried to think hard.
People think too much and seal your inner self,
which in reality has enormous life power.
“Life” is full of uncovered potential.
film length : 69 minutes
Surrender yourself out of your mind
