This is a fable about androgenic hormones. Men are very used to being apologetic, but due to their limitations, tend to repeat the same mistakes. Following a climactic revelation, when perilous circumstances arise, individuals are compelled to acknowledge their missteps and offer genuine apologies. However, it remains uncertain whether such sincerity will persist.
The work "Refractory" employs an installation-based approach to assembling film, with a particular focus on the dynamic interplay between material and spatial context. The film features numerous artifacts. The characters are portrayed as props within the film. The characters are symbolic and were performed in a minimalist style. This results in a visual experience of film that can be perceived as an installation.
