새들의 언덕 / The hills of birds

Program B

「鳥の山」、鳥だけが越えられると言われていた山は、誰一人超えることはできなかった。数十年前に唯一超えることができた父は、今では数メートルの丘さえ登れないがん患者だ。車椅子の父と病院から帰る途中、息子のザイオンは急な丘を越えて家に帰ろうとする。

The “Mountain of Birds” , which only birds could cross, was said to have been conquered by no one. My dad, who conquered it decades ago. But now he’s a cancer patient who can’t even climb a few meters up a hill. On his way back from the hospital with his father in a wheelchair, his son, Zion, tries to get home over a steep hill.
