Navigating the night

The film follows an elderly man who represents the audience’s own journey through life. As he reflects on his past, we see his memories of childhood, youth, and adulthood, each connected to a different place that symbolizes a phase of life.

The story starts with him standing alone under a tree in a field, lost in thought. This moment takes us into his childhood, symbolized by an underwater scene, capturing a sense of freedom and curiosity. From there, we move to a sunlit lake, where memories of youthful joy, laughter, and first love come to life. A hospital corridor marks a darker time, confronting the reality of life’s fragility.

The film ends back at the tree, where only the spade remains. As rain fills the footprints with water, the man continues on, reminding us to keep moving forward without regret.

This film is all about reflecting on the passage of time and how life changes. It encourages the audience to think about their own experiences and how they choose to embrace both the good and the bad, with a message of hope and acceptance.
