SYNOPSIS

A visual poem about hopes and unfulfilled wishes. The film follows anonymous characters from their first wish as a newborn till the last prayers, using various wish-making rituals to reflect universal emotions of frustration, determination, surrender and hope. We seek to find who listens to our prayers and why do we keep on hoping? The narrative suggests reasons for despair as well as faith in the shape of a visual poem, exploring the deeply personal yet common nature of belief rituals. The film poses the question of how future generations will navigate their existence, although it cannot provide a definitive answer, it invites the viewers to cherish the journey of life.
