Belief Of the Story (Movie):
Musician Arus, dissatisfied with his brother's caregiving approach to their mother who has Alzheimer's disease, decides to take her back to the grasslands to find the home she remembers. To prevent the mother from getting lost, Arus ties a rope between them, creating a unique "reverse" mother-son connection that leads them to roam deeper into the grasslands. As love transforms from mutual constraints into understanding and freedom, the mother finally returns to her heart's homeland, and Arus also gains the power of tranquility and love in the process.
