The opening chapter is an endless starry sky and the sea. Accompanied by the sound of the sea, a boat with "La luna" printed on it enters from the left side of the screen. The soothing and melodious background music plays, corresponding to the story. At the same time, the main characters also appear, rowing on the right side. father, a son in the middle who is curious about his first job, and a grandfather with a long beard on the left.

After that, I used a few superimposed paintings, with blue as the main color of the picture, and the medium, panoramic, and distant views gradually reduced the proportion of the ship in the picture, reflecting the vastness of the sea and their long journey, as if they had not reached their destination after a long journey. , adding a sense of mystery to the subsequent plot.

The boat is parked in the center of the picture, the grandfather gave a gift to the grandson, the father clasped his hands on his chest, he was also rowing before, and should be the head of the family. Here, the grandfather and the father had a dispute over the child's hat wearing high and low. In the end, the father wore the child's hat low and put the child on the seat, reflecting the father's toughness. The grandfather and father disagreed. At this time, the child had no ideas of his own, so he just listened to the opinions of the elders obediently.

Grandpa turned off the lights, and they were in wait. There was only the sound of sea water in the background. The camera zoomed out. Grandpa and father could be seen confronting each other, expressing that the two of them were estranged at the moment.

The afterglow of the moonlight hit the child, the background music played, and the full moon rose above the horizon.

The child was hesitant and worried when he climbed the ladder. He was still afraid of the unknown and hoped to gain strength from his elders.

On the moon, the child witnessed a star falling on the moon, and he became curious about the unknown, which can be echoed later.

The father and grandfather quarreled again about what tools to use. The child in the middle had a subjective lens, he had his own judgment, and gradually got out of the control of the elders.

A big star fell from the sky, and neither grandfather nor father could make this huge star move. The child turned the brim of his hat to the back of his head. This was the first time he chose for himself.

The hammer shattered the big stars, and countless small stars were scattered. The child solved the problem in his own way, which is a sign of his independence and his becoming a qualified moon god.

When the work was over, the father touched his son's head to show his appreciation, and the three generations had a harmonious relationship again. The camera moved up to show the moon that was swept into a crescent.

The title of the film is out.

By telling the contradiction between the three generations of the ancestors, this film reflects the process of a child from relying on the opinions of the elders to having his own independent thoughts, and reflects the growth process of a child.

    If 3D is definitely beautiful, it is a pity that only 2D can be seen. It feels like cheating every time I record a short film.

    It's nice to reverse gravity. Imaginative. Of course, the design of the moon obviously comes from the illustration of the little planet drawn by Saint-Exupéry himself in [The Little Prince]...
