Director’s statement
This film is a tribute to my childhood. My childhood and adolescence hobby was to read books and imagining and accompanying the characters of the story. The books in our childhood time lacked much diversity. The books Good Stories for Good Children were the most available series of storybooks for our generation. We read the books hundreds of times over years with joy. When I grew up, I only remembered one or two stories from the series and I felt I had enjoyed them greatly at that time. Years have passed and now I am a filmmaker for the young generation. So I decided to portray one of the stories with elements from today’s life in memory of my childhood and share my feeling of that time with today’s children and adolescents. I hope they will enjoy it like I did.
