Collaborated with musician Magdalucca.

Inspired by a Japanese tale, the film depicts the story of a brave one who treks into a mountain to bring back a hair from the throat of a crescent moon bear in order to make an antidote for her beloved.


She goes up the hill
She knows it’s far away
He comes back from war
He sleeps under the trees

She goes to the woods
She smells the fresh star leaves
Hears the cries of the lonely ghosts
Haunting her pulling her under

No longer home in his own home
Strangers trapped in the shadows
Building walls of their own worlds
They would rather be alone

She goes to the half moon
She hears the black bears moan
The storm blows across her face
She wants to just run away

No longer home in her own home
Strangers trapped in the shadows
Building walls of their own worlds
They would rather be alone

Remember every step up the hill
Remember the kindness in spite of fear
Go home and pierce the silence
