SYNOPSIS

After her best friend died in the wilderness, the young filmmaker takes up the camera and decides to live her life according to his last words. Years later, she returns to the accident scene to honor the promise they once made to each other. 

NOTE

[Yi-Shan Lo, Director]

I want to create a journey from trauma to reconciliation. It resonates not only with themes of gender, education, and nature but also serves as a testament to the resilience of life, and the realization that life is not just about surviving, but about truly living and loving.​
