the sun gave forth no more of its light

There is no sunshine

The synonym "the sun and the moon" generally refers to the lack of sunshine, which expresses the author's views on Guinea - pig and Japan, two countries with great differences. Guinea pig is a poor country in West Africa and Japan is a developed country in East Asia. These two different countries are called the two "poles" of today's world. In this film, a photographer who travels around the world takes a lot of pictures about the two countries, and in the process, he keeps writing letters to a strange woman, who keeps reading letters to the audience. The pictures are matched with the pictures about the two countries taken by the photographer.
