director’s notes
It’s a LGBT film and we made it with two young actors. It tells a dream-like
encounter between two boys in late summer and the story ends after a heavy rain.
As the director, I want to present a vague and ambiguous atmosphere.
The short film creates aworld that belongs to a boy. It is true, but it becomes
a dream story under the change of weather.
