Official Selection, EIFF 2024

The making of the film itself and diving into the beautiful uncertainty of filmmaking was the where the true inspiration came from. In my eyes, despite its farmland setting, this is a film about the conflict in filmmaking. It is about the plight of uncertain, creative and spiritual people in the face of certain, greedy and ignorant people..
