Description

Where the Wind is Always Young, a poetic film, interweaves daily rituals, childhood recollections, and nature’s rhythms to evoke memory, landscape, and time’s passage. It begins with a mother and child lighting a hearth fire, setting the stage for impressionistic vignettes.

Striking imagery captures windswept coastlines, children’s laughter, swans drifting, and decaying remains. The film reflects on humanity’s fragility against nature’s forces, capturing warmth in a fire-lit room, restless sea movement, and carcass dissolution.

Beyond visuals, it invites contemplation of past lives in landscapes, playmates on the wind, and fading beauty. It offers a profound meditation on time, memory, and impermanence.
