“In a commercial society, love has been commodified and dissolved. Many have been subdued by urbanization while critical issues such as nature, life, care and love have been forced into oblivion. I intended to make a film to bring these senses back to life. In this film, passion of life persists, unbound by predicament of any form. Free spirit can transcend any boundaries, so does imagination. Life and God of Nature have always been there ready to answer our calls.”
