About This Movie

It's not just about what they see, but more intriguingly, how they see themselves and the world around them. The blend of interviews—some profound, others laced with humor—creates a unique atmosphere that’s both reflective and engaging. The interspersed imagery, from burning trees to desolate landscapes, adds a surreal quality that enhances the narrative.
