• A story is about the changes in a little place in Borneo as seen through the lives of a salt making family. It is about people on the move in the little hamlet of Bario. People move in, move out, and they move around this place. The movements are physical and cultural.
  

• We see the rite of passage of an individual, echoing the rite of passage of his people.
  

• It not our intention to make these issues the focus of our story. Our story, after all, is about the movement of people. This film is character-driven. Through interviews and informal dialogue, our characters will share their stories. We might gain a little insight into their journeys. Perhaps, we might even recognize our own journeys!
