The story
A child chases his dream, drawing on a sheet of paper. A horseman rides a white horse along the sea. A traveler walks a desert road with his guitar, between sea cliffs and red earth hills. Three stories that seem far apart move toward the same place, until they almost touch.
What you see
Dry fields and sea cliffs under a blue sky, a child drawing on a sheet of paper, a stone room with a doorway full of light, a hawk over the fields, a small lake inside red earth hills, a wooden cross on a hill where the traveler plays the guitar, and a horseman on a white horse riding along the sea.
Written from frames of the video, without the ending.
