LOGLINE
To fulfill a promise to his mother, a young boy searches for the mythical island described in her bedtime stories, a place where one can make any wish upon seeing the light of a thousand fireflies.
SYNOPSIS
The story begins with the adult Tonton being interviewed by a skeptical journalist after winning the National Book Award. The interview unravels the origin of his stories:
Set in 1999 and told through Tonton’s rose-colored memories of life with his mother – a vintage storybook.
One story in particular sticks with Tonton. The story goes: Once upon a time in a mythical island, a brave firefly mustered all its light and defeated a vicious dog to protect his butterfly friend.
To encourage Tonton, Elay tells him that the island is real and that you could make a wish if you ever made it there.
In an old notebook, Elay draws a map to the island. And Tonton had taken his mother’s words literally: that he must make the journey to the island like they promised.
On the road, he meets three strangers who will either help him or hinder his quest…
