■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Home as chosen ground
Reason: The mountain becomes not scenery but the place where life, labor, and belonging are chosen.
Related Film: Life Is Fruity - Middle: Aging inside family responsibility
Reason: The couple’s chosen life cannot be separated from the care, distance, and burden shared by family.
Related Film: My Love, Don’t Cross That River - Core: Death within a completed way of life
Reason: The end of life is framed not as loss alone but as the closing form of a life consistently inhabited.

■ Secondary Axes
- Self-sufficiency as dignity: Living from one’s own labor becomes an ethical response to dependence and modern convenience.
