Director Statement

Set in the '90s layoff wave, the film shows a child's rebellion and quest amid harsh education. His journey is more an awakening than escape, seeking self-worth. After adventures, he reconciles at his grandmother's grave; his return marks not dream's end, but maturity. As a director, I aim for the film to evoke that era and inspire viewers to contemplate bravery and dreams, encouraging pursuit of one's "hero," despite challenges.
