A lad lives half-way up a historic hill.
A teenager is on a road trip to the city in a stolen car.
A boy is driving a chariot, pulling the sun across the sky.
Told by a single storyteller with a cinematic soundtrack this is a story about the Son of the God of the Sun. It's a story about pride, about growing up, and about the invisible marks in a landscape.
