This is not a tragedy of failure, but an experiment in choice. Through heightened visual expression, the animation asserts that prison is not a finale, nor is recapture a total ruin. If a story has no true beginning or end, then every escape and return becomes merely a lingering moment within the 'arbitrarily chosen' game of life.
