Through the lens of childhood curiosity and imagination, she explores themes of memory, loss, and the mystical connection between the past and present. As she navigates her experiences, the girl learns to confront her fears and understand the deeper significance of her surroundings. The narrative intertwines elements of fantasy with poignant reflections on growing up, making it a touching exploration of the worlds we create and the memories that haunt us.
