Synopsis:<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

My mother dreamed that my late father came back home to see her. She strongly believes that it wasn’t a dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

Director\u2019s Statement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

While I was in Japan for researching an Japanese avant-garde film last year I received the saddest phone call from my mother who told me that my father, who had been sick from liver cancer, had passed away peacefully. A few days before he died, I talked to him on the phone and he said, \u201cI want my ashes to be scattered in the forest.\u201d\u00a0 I replied to him with my tear flows \u201cYou will be alright.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t even go back for his funeral. I began shooting this film which I had only an image of ashes and a forest, hoping that this film can cure me of my pain.<\/span><\/p>\n
