SYNOPSIS
A boy inherits a pair of worn scissors from his late father, along with a discovery that changes everything: his father was once a gardener. The scissors carry a name etched into their metal, pointing to a master craftsman named Sasuke living in a distant foreign land. Driven by curiosity about his father's past and a desire to restore this broken artifact, the boy sets out on a solitary journey across unfamiliar terrain to find the artisan who created them. What begins as a simple errand becomes something deeper. The boy must navigate a world that feels both wondrous and isolating, searching for traces of who his father was through the objects he left behind. Sasuke's workshop and the land surrounding it hold secrets waiting to be uncovered. The scissors, fragile and incomplete, become a physical link between father and son, between past and present. This meditation on loss, craftsmanship, and connection speaks to anyone who has ever wondered about the lives their parents lived before becoming parents. The journey matters more than the destination.
