I grew up in Yangon. In Feb­ru­ary 2021 my dreams came to an end. My mother said: ‘Son, wake up. The mil­i­tary has taken over the coun­try’. The days got darker. The window in my narrow room and the piece of sky I watched seemed to be the only free­dom I had left. I wanted to say some­thing about this new under­cur­rent in my life. I wrote things down, record­ed my voice, and searched for images that might reflect my feel­ings and those of other young people. And so now there is a film which con­veys what it’s like to lose the ground beneath your feet.

Under the cur­rent polit­i­cal sit­u­a­tion in Myan­mar the film­mak­ers wish to remain anonymous.
