Rural Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979), where intense fear and secrecy dominate. A farmer lives under the constant threat of the Khmer Rouge, who enforce brutal policies against intellectuals, ethnic minorities, and anyone deemed counter to their regime. The farmer witnesses the arrest and disappearance of neighbors, realizing that the Khmer Rouge’s brutality could soon affect those he knows and cares about. He decides to act rather than stand by, initiating his resistance. The farmer begins secretly hiding families on his property, moving them at night and smuggling food. He faces immense risk, aware that being caught would lead to execution for him and everyone he’s hiding. Rumors circulate that villagers are betraying each other to save themselves. The farmer becomes increasingly paranoid but is determined to stay strong and support those hiding on his property. Soldiers arrive to search his home. In a moment of intense danger, the farmer keeps his composure, calmly engaging the soldiers in conversation to avoid suspicion while hiding his terror. The soldiers move on, narrowly missing the hidden families. After the soldiers leave, the farmer and the families he sheltered are left in a quiet, tense relief. The families decide to move on the next day to prevent further danger to the farmer. Survivors, inspired by the farmer’s courage, tell his story in whispered tones to others, spreading awareness about the possibility of resistance even under a brutal regime.

One sunny day, he spotted a big, muddy puddle in his yard. “Yippee!” shouted Gus. “I’m going to jump in that puddle!” Gus put on his bright red boots and ran toward the puddle. His friend, Bud, saw him from the swing. “Wait for me, Gus!” Bud called, swinging high. Gus waited. “Come on, Bud! It’s fun!” Bud jumped off the swing and ran to join Gus. Together, they stood at the edge of the puddle. “On the count of three, let’s jump!” said Gus. “Okay!” Bud nodded. “One… Two… Three!” They both jumped into the muddy puddle. Splash! Mud flew everywhere! “Look at us!” Gus laughed. “We’re muddy buddies!” Just then, a little dog named Pup came over. He tilted his head and barked, “Woof! What are you doing?” “We’re having a muddy fun time!” Bud said, splashing more mud. Pup wagged his tail. “I want to join!” Gus and Bud laughed. “Okay, Pup! Jump in!” Pup jumped right into the puddle, sending mud flying. They all rolled and played until they were covered in mud from head to toe. After a while, they decided it was time to clean up. “Let’s go back to my house,” said Gus. “We can wash off in the tub!” When they got to Gus's house, his mom chuckled at the sight of the muddy friends. “Oh my! What happened to you three?” “We had the best fun in the puddle!” Gus exclaimed, grinning. His mom smiled and filled the tub with warm water. “Alright, muddy buddies, it’s bath time!” After their bath, Gus, Bud, and Pup sat together on the porch, drying off in the sun. “That was the best day ever!” Bud said. “Let’s do it again tomorrow!” Gus replied, his eyes sparkling with excitement. And so, every sunny day, they would jump in the puddles, making more muddy memories together. The End

But something strange is happening—the adults in her orphanage are forgetting things, their names, their stories, even each other. The stars, too, seem dim and quiet. One night, a single star falls from the sky, landing deep in the woods. Yuni runs to find it and discovers a small, pale, faceless being—a fallen star that has forgotten who it is. She names it Sparky, and together, they set off on a journey to restore Sparky’s memory and uncover the mystery of why the world is forgetting. Along the way, they meet the Wise Owl, the Ancient Tree, the Playful River, Mother Earth, and Grandpa Sun—each one guardians of memory in their own way.
