Kurt and Mark grew up together in Portland, Oregon, and the pristine nature of the Cascade Mountains gave them a yearning for freedom and a peaceful life. However, with different life circumstances and choices, the two people who used to cherish each other and accompany each other have embarked on different life paths.
Kurk doesn't want to be bound by responsibility, he is alone, and he wanders freely by his cooking skills. He will externalize the yearning for freedom to the utmost, meeting different people, discovering different landscapes, and experiencing different lives have become Kurk's proud wealth.
In addition to getting married and having children, and shouldering family responsibilities, Mark serves community public welfare projects. He transformed the yearning for freedom into the practice of the heart in the gaps in life. Accepting the challenges and gifts of life and going with the flow has become Mark's attitude towards life.
Kurt asked Mark to go camping at the hot spring in the forest for the weekend, and Mark went there happily. The sluggish, frustrating political situation on the car radio faded away from the city, and Mark's wife complained that the disturbed phone calls went into the mountains with poor signal. Cheng Cheng is far away from the clutter of the world, and step by step is beyond the pressure of the world, as if there are only two people left in the universe, Kurt and Mark. They experienced lost sleep together and talked about each other at night. They were sincere and cared for each other, but they had life trajectories and insights that could not be overlapped. They arrived at the destination together, faced each other frankly, understood and appreciated each other, but had a future and dreams that could not be shared.
"I want to become real friends with you again, there is some estrangement between us, I don't want to be like this", how much regret and sadness, "I am sad because I am happy and tired, so it's okay", how much helplessness and sadness. The more secluded you are, the more you can hear the differences in your heart.
When the car carries a returning heart and a soul that continues to go back to the city lights, both of them have peacefully accepted the reality: Yesterday is still happy, and the reason is still because yesterday is always yesterday. Get rid of the current world, review the old friendship, the feelings remain the same, but after all, it is like a dream that seemed familiar yesterday but unreal today. When I woke up from the dream, only the faint, wet sadness of a hot spring in the mountains was left behind...
The style of the film is very simple and neat, and the words are like gold.
