We don't pretend to be naive when we are children, because we are naive in the first place. Growing up, we know that the world is fair because it is not fair, and it is beautiful because it is not beautiful, so whether it is good or bad, the true self must be hidden.

This is a story about the escape and rebirth of the true self. The Prince of Aragon, who came out of "The Lord of the Rings", shines in this film, and uses the black elements to the extreme. For this reason, he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award. It's a big breakthrough in acting.
