Program Note

Three brave and mischievous friends just want to play a game called Angel. The only person who knows the password is Mom, but she's bedridden. To get the password, they need to cheer her up with a Blueberry Pie she craves. However, obtaining the pie proves challenging, starting with finding the key ingredient: eggs. Their adventurous quest to find eggs strengthens the bond among the trio through various trials. The film's faded visuals evoke a dreamy reminiscence of childhood memories. Despite being labeled a children's film, it overflows with trendy elements. Set against the beautiful natural backdrop of Wyoming, it evokes a hippie aesthetic. Though the trio's passion and courage might remind adults of their own lost dreams, the film ultimately delivers a stylish, endearing, and joyful experience. (Kani KIM)
