“He was an old man, going on a journey...”

Early one morning, 75 year old Koro leaves his home to travel into the city. Although his life is near its end, he is determined to settle once and for all the security of his family’s land. This simple but powerful story follows his journey to its inevitable conclusion.

Adapted from the short story by Patricia Grace.
