Synopsis
A younger boy and an older boy set out together on a mysterious journey, traveling through unfamiliar surroundings with a sense of urgency and uncertainty. Their escape gradually takes on the feeling of a quiet road movie: they leave a former life behind while moving toward an unknown future. The relationship between the two remains deliberately open to interpretation. They may be father and son, or the older figure may be confronting his own past, embodied by the child traveling beside him.
