Dandelion wine

A movie that shows that the purpose of the journey is to blend your imagination with reality; instead of imagining how the things could’ve been just see them as they are . Showing that a destination never is a place but a way to see things differently. Every long journey begins with a single step, and everything in the movie starts with the daybreak raising up to a new day , everything starts moving little by littlie into desired shining mechanism, fitting into one another as a wonderful puzzle of freedom. The objective of the movie is to show how much there is to be discovered , to depict and feel in the land of the interminable opportunities or in any other country , to show the significance of things we do for the first time. To document those important and memorable events that later become legends. To show the ability to grasp that fragile, delicate moment and to seal it in a bottle.
