In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, two lovers who are expecting a baby search for a rescue helicopter.
We tried to convey elements of mystery and the spiritual without the use of music, dialogue, speedy editing, and camera movement. It was crucial that we depict the beauty of hope through serene images.
