Set against the stark, expansive backdrop of Siji's mountains, "Mhayer" is a contemplative short film that follows a young boy named Mhayer as he inadvertently strays from his familiar surroundings into the wilderness. This solitary journey through the rugged terrain becomes a meditative exploration of solitude and curiosity. As Mhayer traverses the landscape, the vast silence of the mountains prompts him to reflect on his smallness in the vast world and the interconnectedness of all life. Each step away from the familiar sharpens his senses and deepens his thoughts, turning a simple walk into a profound philosophical journey into the essence of being and boyhood.
