Director's statement
This story is based on my childhood memories, using an anecdote between a man and a dog to unfold the narrative. It portrays the protagonist as a lonely, renowned writer reminiscing about his childhood among his companions, with the passage of time leaving distinct imprints on each individual’s life. The film delves into the varying levels of understanding among individuals against the backdrop of changing times, highlighting the multiplicity of endings and the absurdity of causality brought about by fragmented memories, as the boundaries of truth become increasingly blurred.
