A metaphorical story about the constant struggle of the artist to reach those five minutes of limelight. A tale about an upswing and downfall, with the climax appearing concurrently and unexpectedly.

Even if they succeed, the image they create is the reflection of themselves. And with the same fervor, they repeat the process in endless cycles.
