What does Egwa mean ?

The film takes its name from Egwa, the legendary first tree said to be planted by the gods at the dawn of creation. In ancient belief, Egwa is not merely a tree but the origin of all life, the eternal bridge between earth, sky, and spirit. By naming the film EGWA, we root the story in this timeless myth, emphasizing the sacredness of nature and the dangers of human greed when it seeks to destroy what is divine.
