A Virtual Reality Short Film by Rick Wang
Once upon a time, a little girl found a broken pine cone. She cherished it a lot. Her mom made a room in her favorite garden for this little girl to grow the pine.
Years passed, as the pine tree growing taller in the corner, the little girl lost her sight little by little because of illness. Being stuck in bed, she never had seen the world since then. One day, just like Mom holding her hands, walking step by step with her, she no longer felt scared. She knew it by heart -- those dark days are over.
