Director Statement

We all have childhood memories that we carry throughout our lives. These tiny stories may seem insignificant to the outside but they are an important part of our lives. I have gathered similar tiny stories that based on my first memories at my grandparent’s farms in the countryside. It was a place where I could meet nature for the first time.
It’s beauty, cruelty and mysticism had a big impression on me as a child.
I have the most determinative and important childhood memories from this period.
The film made me realize what are the really important moments of life which always has connection with nature and spirituality.
