SYNOPSIS
What will the world be like 100 years from now? Maybe there will be flying cars, and many things can be done by machines. Maybe we will live under the sea or in space. However, will advanced technology make us happier?
The film can be perceived as a dynamic dialectical process. The storytelling is based on the recordings of children's interviews in the workshop. At the early stage of production, the crew held a children's workshop and then edited the voice to build the narrative structure. It is full of children's imagination of the fantasy world of the past, present, and future.
The film incorporates historical archives, children’s interviews, and paintings to create a strong contrast with fun and intriguing storytelling. From the microscopic to the macroscopic, from the individual, the society, to the universe, and finally back to the individual to focus on the richness of the spiritual world. No matter how the world and technology change and progress, one thing will not change ─ Life needs each other, so that we won’t be alone.

PRESS REVIEWS
“This film almost makes you tear up. The innocence that transcends the entirety of the film is touching, emotionally relevant, and completely immersive. The film is just this beautiful thing that allows imagination to come to life. Using animation, this film dives deep into the minds of a series of young children–and we hear and see them express to us the optimism that they have for their futures. ”
