Synopsis
Young man Amon possesses mysterious light-manipulating powers, becoming a target for the Empire seeking new energy sources while uncovering his origins.
The Empire of the Golden Snake is on a desperate quest to secure new sources of energy. At the center of this search is Amon, a young man who possesses the mysterious ability to manipulate light, heal injuries, and fly. As the Empire takes a keen interest in his unique powers, Amon finds himself caught in a dangerous conflict. Forced to navigate a world where his gifts make him a target, he must uncover the truth about his own origins and the nature of his abilities while evading those who seek to exploit them for their own gain.
The Empire of the Golden Snake has been searching for new sources of energy. To this end, the chief scientist, Fritz, has been investigating his son Amon's strange powers—dubbed light playing—that allow Amon to manipulate light, heal injuries, and even fly. However, when Fritz discovers the empire's violent plans for Amon, he attempts to take his family and flee the country, but ultimately meets a tragic fate. Now on his own, Amon soon discovers he is a remnant of the Wind People, an ancient race that communed with nature and shared the same powers he possesses. As he travels, Amon learns of the empire's plans and witnesses the tragedies they are responsible for firsthand, realizing exactly why his father risked his life to prevent their designs.

- 9/10 “Wow. What an under watched, underrated gem of a movie with a bit of a Studio Ghibli feel to it. It isn't. Brains Base did it. There's no need for me to go into the story because the synopsis does...”
