"The Edge of Innocence" is a symbolic story about the loss of childhood innocence, about growing up, about changes in our perception of the world when we leave the magical land of childhood, which is driven by imagination and the call of adventure, and we enter adult life, and how we react to those changes. It's a story about losing faith in magic, forgetting the past, and distancing ourselves from the source of where we come from and who we were before we entered the world of logic, science, responsibilities and burdens of adult life.
