Father's song, Mother's paintings, Son's imaginations..
This film was made while in confinement in Japan during the Corona state of emergency declaration. Even in confinement, my mother’s paintings allowed my imagination to travel.
My father had a song about journeying far to find a place of peace and love.
I made a little world with his song and her paintings. Can Yubi, my finger character find this ideal distant place? Hopefully, my father is smiling, though confined in heaven. Ironically, during filming, my mother had to be confined in her room.
