Synopsis

At nightfall, the sound of a whistle echoes as the young planet awakens. They gallop through the dark night, following pre-programmed instructions, silently carrying out their covert mission, gathering and dispersing. They await the break of dawn, leaving no trace of their presence when the sun rises again.

Director Statement

As the boy transitioned into adolescence, he gradually started resembling an adult. They began to get used to wearing black clothes and would dash through the dark night, releasing their youth in a high-speed state, whether they were happy or sad. Before growing into adults, they faced the changing world and order with restless emotions and indulgent feelings. Their tumultuous youth was like a spacecraft about to land, and they were already the pilots of their own ships, in control of direction, speed, and goals. Airplanes flew overhead, one after another, across the night sky, while goods were transported swiftly on the conveyor belts. They desperately ran forward, howling like a group of untamed wild horses in the depths of the night.
