Shot on a phone, the film presents a notably earnest and heartfelt endeavor in exploring an idea of magic, one that we often leave behind as we move forward in the world.
A woman, feeling lost and drowning in despair, has found her way back to a childhood haunt, a corner in the middle of a lush forest where she communed with the fairies as a young girl. With sparkle on her eyes and an unwavering trust in magic, she would leave little tokens of love for the woodland creatures. However, as adulthood ushered in different responsibilities and roles, the fairies were soon left behind and forgotten.
After all these years, life has once again led her back to the same spot of magic and wonder. Is it still capable of invoking something in her? The film answers the question in a heartwarming manner. The performance of its sole character becomes one of the most notable triumphs of the film, alongside its storytelling, both of which pave the path for more projects with a larger trove of resources in the future.
