Paradise Lost

This fashion collection and film abstractly tell the story from the perspective of fading childhood memories because the fire wiped out traces of past happiness for the residents. And childhood may be one of the most simple, happy, innocent, and valuable time that human treasure. Introducing one fact to better understand the script, the white flowers appear in the film are a native California plant called Matilija poppies, which like to grow in areas that were recently burned and can be aggressive in terms of spreading.
