Two boys, one camera, zero idea how to say goodbye.
Indy and Finn are best friends who escape into the forest to create a fantasy film filled with heroes, monsters, and wooden swords. As they immerse themselves in their imaginary world, the real world quietly encroaches, Finn is moving away, and neither boy knows how to say goodbye. Their playful filmmaking project becomes a means of clinging to a fleeting connection. Through toy knights, hand-drawn monsters, and whispered arguments, the boys wrestle with the inevitable changes that come with growing up.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in rural Wales, the film captures a specifically British working-class boyhood rarely seen on screen—muddy knees and boundless imagination.
The title reverses the typical 'hero's journey'—Finn isn't the quest, he's the one leaving the story.
