Director’s Comment: Last summer, at the foot of the Flaming Mountains, we relived our childhood together. Those intense yet self-assured emotions, those naïve yet pure feelings, are vivid memories from our journey of growing up. The persistence and refusal to give up that which we once held onto have become marks that remain with us into adulthood. This film is dedicated to our childhood.
