2025•13m•Drama•Fantasy

A young man finds himself on a wide open field. He watches a group of people working hard to find something in this wasteland. But is what he sees true, or at least real? Then, the next thought floods his mind and he is taken by it. A memory of his father. The track through his memory leads him to an emotional day with his father, back then. Until the story begins to suffocate him and his younger self determines to escape, eventually landing at a familiar wide open field. Now the past and the present are intertwined and reality molts into a new and fantastic perspective.
