In a quaint town, the echo of church services isn't confined to Sunday mornings. Instead, it's a perpetual drone, amplified through megaphones, while church bells clang insistently, reminding residents of their duty to seek forgiveness. In a world incessantly proclaiming its own "truth" and setting boundaries on possibilities, the old man's journey underscores that sometimes, tuning out dogmatism can unlock genuine freedom. A metaphor for our creative journey as filmmakers.
