Maturity wrestles with youth to preserve a thing of fragile beauty from a careless, brutal world. Theatrically plotted, its a classic love story with a metamorphic twist: Goddess meets boy. Goddess loses boy when he is killed by a wild boar, evaporates, and his blood turns into a flower. Goddess gets flower
