"Care is Cure" is an experimental live-action film that delves into the inner turmoil of an abandoned patient in a decaying psychiatric hospital. Through a fractured narrative, it explores self-conflict, identity, and the search for existence amidst distorted spaces and chaotic emotions. The protagonist, portrayed by a renowned singer, navigates shifting roles, embodying "the clown," a universal symbol of repressed pain and hidden light within us all. Intense music and a haunting atmosphere amplify the camera’s portrayal of loneliness, silence, and the journey toward self-deconstruction. Through mirror reflections and powerful performances, the film unveils the struggle between the individual and their inner self, illuminating the transformative power of self-healing. For IN WARD, this film reimagines the brand as a metaphor for inner strength and recovery, aligning with the brand’s mission to inspire hope and resilience.
