The title of the film, which translates to the 'old red river', sets the premise of the content it will come to portray and engage with. With poetry interspersed with its visuals, the film becomes a weaving together of different elements of nature - rivers, mountains and trees.

These are further supplemented by a notable use of drone shots that enable the filmmaker to tie their narrative together. However, there seems to be a want of a common thread that could have perhaps led to a closure which keeps the film from being all that it could have been.
