TIMELINE

We searched through archives, tracked down old acquaintances, and followed scattered leads across continents. Each discovery brought us a little closer to Ulymar, while revealing just how much remained unknown.

We travelled across South Korea, Canada, France, in search of the people, places, and fragments of a life that had long since slipped out of view. Slowly, a picture began to emerge, though it was never quite the one we expected.

We discovered that Ulymar had passed away. But the search didn't end there. Hundreds of paintings, ambiguous sketches, and personal journals revealed another side of the man we thought we knew: an artist who had left much of his inner world scattered across the pages. Perhaps the answers we were looking for had been there all along.

As we pieced together what Ulymar had left behind, we found ourselves facing a question we could no longer set aside: what becomes of a dream when the person who dreamed it is no longer here? We decided to carry his final wish forward, preparing to send his ashes on the journey to Mars he had once dreamed of making himself.

After years of filming, researching, and piecing together fragments of a life, we turn to the final stages of making the film: editing, animation, sound, and finding a way to bring Ulymar's story together.
