CINEOS Premiere
My Golden Days
A middle-aged man excavates the girl who defined him, and the film discovers that memory doesn't recall the past so much as rebuild it — lit gold and slightly untrue.
It works by making memory feel like a place rather than a story — the youthful chapters lit with grainy euphoria, the present tinted with loss, and neither allowed to win. There's no single release, only a slow bittersweet understanding that who you were at twenty quietly decided who you became. It leaves the ache of a love that's definitively over yet refuses to finish settling, so it keeps reassembling in you for days.

FAQ
Is it just a love story?
On the surface — a young man remembering the girl who defined him. Underneath, it's about how memory lies to us in beautiful ways, and how the person you were at twenty keeps writing the person you are now.
Why does it jump around in time?
Because that's how remembering actually works. The film reconstructs the past the way we all do — out of order, over-lit, more vivid than the present — and lets you feel the distance between the man and the boy he's excavating.
