Day Fly is based on the hikikomori phenomenon What is Hikikomori ? Hikikomori, which literally means "pulling away, being confined" (i.e., "acute social withdrawal") is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive adolescents and young adults who have chosen to withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement due to various personal and social factors in their lives. The term "hikikomori" refers to both the sociological phenomenon in general and to individuals belonging to this societal group. In the film, the main actor wears a mask, which becomes a character in itself as he moves and plays with different perception. The mask is the means for a transference to occur between model and watcher. The speechless face, staring without emotion, becomes the face of a dweller of another world being watched in our own. such an eerie juxtaposition draws viewers in close to Khazem`s and Park `s silent innocents.
