IN THE SILENCE OF THE WORLD / KYA KA RA BA A (Air, Wind, Fire, Water, Earth in Sanskrit) can be seen as a kind of continuation of EMBRACING. The film begins with the death of the director's father. She deals with her family history by reviewing her career as a filmmaker: The early films about her family, the success of her film SUZAKU in Cannes and her creative blockades. In the second part you can see the filmmaker in a tattoo studio. She wants to get a tattoo on her back like her father had.
