I feel the wind on my face.
It's cold.
It's true.
It feels like I'm breathing deeply for the first time.
The smell of the earth.
The smell of the water.
The smell of the air.
The river is strong.
It’s not afraid.
It just keeps flowing.
I like the sound of it.
I can hear my friends—
Lynn, Fred, Grace, Tommy.
They're just there.
Far away, but close.
I'm here.
In my body.
I thought being inexperienced was a weakness.
- Are we still far? - But now,
- Almost there. - I feel free.
Anything seems possible.
[indistinct chatters]
I breathe.
No one is chasing.
No one is expecting.
Freedom is silent.
I hope it always stays this way.
[chattering]
[giggling]
[background chatter]
Are you going through with your application to Taiwan?
Yeah.
It was recommended by our church.
It's their NGO affiliate.
I don’t want to embarrass myself, and it’s an opportunity.
It’s hard to be alone, you know.
I really feel like my luck is in Taiwan.
And I can feel like I have a purpose.
Are you sure Auntie Rose allowed you to leave?
Whether she allows it or not, I’m leaving.
Besides, I think she wants me to end up like her—an old maid.
Keep in touch, okay?
Of course.
You’re thinking way ahead, you know. Nothing’s set yet.
How about you? You really don’t have plans to go abroad?
I don’t.
I’ll help out with my dad’s hardware business for now.
Cave.
There is a small opening.
It is dark.
I don't know why,
but it feels like something is pulling me in.
I don't know what it is,
but I won't run.
I'm scared.
It's true.
I feel the nervousness,
the heavy breathing.
But I won't back down.
I like the fear,
the uncertainty.
I want to feel.
Anything.
Even fear.
Even chaos.
Because when I feel something,
- Jane? - I am alive.
- Where are you going? - And when I am alive,
I am free.
So I let it go.
Whatever is pushing me.
Water.
It's cold on the skin,
but there's heat.
I don't understand.
It feels like something is flowing through my body.
It's filling me.
It's strengthening every movement,
every breath.
Something is different.
Silent but clear.
It feels like something is awakening inside me.
It's not fear.
It's not just joy either.
A feeling that's new.
That I haven't been able to name yet.
What is it?
I don't know.
Let's go, Tommy. The camp's still far.
- But I feel - Tommy, come on!
- something is changing. - Jane went inside.
Where’s Jane?
She climbed up there— into that cave-like thing.
- What? - Why did you let her?
Damn it, let’s follow her!
Hey, wait! I’m coming too.
Jane!
- Jane! - Jane...
Jane!
- Jane! - Jane!
Jane!
Are you sure this is where she went in?
Yeah, I’m sure.
- Jane! - Just let her be.
We can’t. Her mom will be furious.
Jane!
Come on.
- Jane! - Jane?
Jane!
Jane?
Jane!
- Jane! - Hey, let’s go back. We’ve gone too far.
We can’t. Her mom is going to be furious with us.
Hey guys, there’s another way through here.
Come on. This way.
Jane, are you okay?
Hey, Jane.
What happened to you?
You’re acting weird.
Jane! Hello? Jane!
I’m fine.
Come on. Let’s get out of here.
Over there. Come on.
It’s beautiful.
Look at that.
This place is really beautiful.
- Hey, Jane! - Jane?
- Jane! - Jane. Jane.
- What happened to Jane? - Jane.
- Jane, wake up. - Jane?
Jane, what the heck?
- What happened to her? - Lift her up.
Carry her.
- Come on, carry her. - Fred.
Jane…
Fred.
There are times when you come into my mind.
Suddenly.
Quietly.
If only it were another time…
maybe I would.
I've wanted you for a long time.
But I don't know how to say it.
Or if I should say it at all.
I'm afraid.
Of my words.
Of myself.
It's like something's holding me back—
shame,
doubt,
a feeling that I'm not ready yet.
So everything just stays here.
In my mind.
In my chest.
Just a small wish.
Which I don't even know if it's right.
But it's true.
Hey, wait, really?
Hold on.
[giggling]
Come on, hurry.
Don’t pull me.
[indistinct chatter]
[giggling]
- It’s cold. - Mm-hmm.
[indistinct chatter]
How about Jane?
Do you think she’s alright?
After going to the cave yesterday, she hasn’t seemed okay.
If she’s still not okay tomorrow, we’ll go down and take her to the hospital.
It could be serious.
Maybe she’s just tired.
Jane’s a bit sensitive, right?
Hmph. Whatever.
[indistinct chatter]
There are things happening that I can no longer understand.
It feels like something is taking hold of me—
[screaming] my body,
my spirit,
[screaming continues] my mind,
my heart.
I can't stop it.
I don't want to.
But… I want to.
It feels like nature itself is embracing me.
It feels like we are one.
You had quite a rest, huh?
- It's calling me. - Do you want to eat?
- Coffee? - It knows what I can't say.
The secret desires that even I fear.
The call of my heart, of my flesh,
things that shouldn't be thought or said.
There's a call from within.
Weak, but true.
I want to run.
I want to stay.
I don't want to.
But I want to.
So I let it go.
I don't fight it.
Whatever it is--
I'll embrace it.
Jane, what are you doing?
Why are you still looking for someone else?
It could just be me.
Same…
but different.
She’s a woman.
Grace.
And is there really a difference?
I don’t know.
I know she likes me.
I can feel it.
It’s like she needs something from me—
or maybe I need something.
I don’t know why I didn’t avoid it.
Why I let it happen.
It’s new to me.
It’s confusing.
It’s scary.
But there’s also silence.
It’s like there’s a part of me that’s been waiting for a long time.
Whatever it is…
oh, I don’t know.
I didn’t deny it anymore.
I didn’t fight it anymore.
Because there was something inside me
that didn’t want to hide anymore.
And for the first time,
I chose to listen to it.
Bro? Where are they?
They’re just around. They’ll come back.
Are you sure?
Of course.
Hey.
Cheers.
Babe.
Why don't you sit? It's bothering me.
They’re not here yet.
What?
Why? Where are they?
This is almost done.
Oh, there they are.
Where have you been?
Have you eaten?
[giggling]
What’s going on?
Why did it seem like you really enjoyed what you saw?
What do you mean, I enjoyed?
Them kissing.
You liked what you saw.
Lynn...
Babe! Wait.
Tommy.
Friend.
Get out of there!
We are close to each other,
Come out now. Stop hiding.
but still far away.
I think he has it all.
Or maybe I just thought so.
I felt sorry for him.
I don't know why.
Maybe I gave in.
Or maybe I was just carried away
by something that was bothering my heart and mind.
I couldn't answer.
I didn't even try to understand.
Are you following me?
Now, I'm just here.
- Breathing. - Sorry.
- I’m just worried you might get hurt. - Listening...
- to myself. - We don't actually know this place.
- Besides, you're actually hard to follow. - I'm free.
I’m not just hard to follow.
I’m hard to catch too.
It’s hot, isn’t it?
Jane!
What are you doing?
Someone might see you.
They can see me,
but they can’t get me.
Are you alright?
Don’t you like what you see?
Do you know you’re actually cute when you’re shy?
Whoo!
Babe, come on.
What are you doing there?
Why?
I saw how Jane was looking at you earlier.
The way she was getting close to you.
And you loved it.
It was just for fun. Don’t be paranoid.
Really? Paranoid?
You’re over reacting.
Over reacting?
Now I'm the one over reacting?
Yeah, that's right, you are.
Do you like her?
Stop it.
You know, Fred, I really don’t understand.
I’m smarter,
I have a bright future, I know where I’m going— I’m better than her!
She’s your friend.
So don’t talk about Jane like that.
You don’t know what she’s going through.
Don’t defend her!
Damn it.
Get off my back!
We’ve known each other since freshman year.
If you have a problem with Jane, and if you’re jealous of her, then that’s on you.
Just admit it that you don’t trust me.
I trust you.
But you’re the one who broke that trust, more than once.
I gave you so many chances, yet you still didn’t change.
Fine. It’s always my fault anyway.
It's coming.
I can feel it.
I can't deny it anymore.
There's something inside me that I'm trying to avoid.
I'm holding back.
I'm running away from.
But it’s stronger.
More real.
It feels like it’s slowly swallowing me.
It's like water entering my body.
Cold.
Heavy.
I'm drowning from holding back.
I want to break free.
I want to breathe.
What are you doing here?
I was looking for you.
You need someone on your side.
Someone who sees your worth.
Not like what Lynn’s doing.
I know you’re just putting up with it.
Hold on.
Someone might see us.
We’re not doing anything wrong.
Unless you want to.
You deserve to feel wanted, Fred.
I can give you that.
I’ve liked you for a long time, Jane.
I just can’t make a move while Lynn’s here.
Me too.
Hi, babe.
Where have you been?
We just went out for some air.
It was hot.
Just for air?
What do you think we did?
And even if there was something— so what?
- Lynn, come on. - Damn you!
- That’s enough. - I knew it, bitch!
- So you really are a flirt! - Babe, stop it!
You too, huh?
What are you saying? Nothing happened.
Stop it. Okay?
Nothing happened?
So that’s why you were so eager to go hiking—
this is what you were planning to do?
Please, stop.
Damn you, Fred! Damn you too, bitch!
You both deserve each other—losers!
[crying]
Who really got fooled here? Well, not me.
Jane, that's enough.
Let’s go.
Let go of me!
Come on.
I said let go of me!
Stop it. Come on.
You're an asshole, Fred!
I'm not stupid! You bastard!
Do you really think I’m an idiot?
Stay with that useless woman!
You don’t own him.
Seriously?
Oh, holy miss perfect! Shut up! Leave me alone, bitch!
[indistinct chanting]
Stop!
Stop it!
Stop! Stop it!
They’re calling me!
Jane? Jane!
Jane!
Fred!
[indistinct chanting continues]
Jane!
Jane...
Jane!
What’s happening with you?
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The rituals forgotten.
The names silenced by time.
The surge of power will no longer be stopped.
We will never be the same again.
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The rituals forgotten.
The names silenced by time.
The surge of power will no longer be stopped.
We will never be the same again.
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The rituals forgotten.
The names silenced by time.
The surge of power will no longer be stopped.
We will never be the same again.
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The rituals forgotten.
The names silenced by time.
The surge of power will no longer be stopped.
We will never be the same again.
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The rituals forgotten.
The names silenced by time.
The surge of power will no longer be stopped.
We will never be the same again.
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The earth and the air will live again.
The shadows of the past will come.
The rituals forgotten.
The names silenced by time.
The earth and the air will live again.
Whatever happens in this cave stays here.
But we don’t need to be mad at each other.
This wasn’t just some crazy shit, Tommy!
You enjoyed it too, didn’t you?
Maybe this is what they call nature’s call.
Right, Fred?
This experience is liberating.
Was it all real?
Was it all a dream?
A nightmare?
A fantasy?
I don't know.
But whatever it is,
I'm going to give up.
Not because I'm weak.
But because I'm tired of fighting.
Jane?
I'm free.
Jane!
