We created this short film scrupulously to tell this interesting story with these cute characters. At the same time, we put in the spatial aesthetics, beautiful music and sounds without being noticed, allowing the audience to feel the humanity of those golden years, to appreciate the beauty of our landscape and plants, and to resonate with the natural environment. Hopefully the audience pays more attention to the good people and good landscape around them.
