Private Project

Butterfly

The short film Buttefly Flying tells a story that occurs among three students against the backdrop of a missing persons case. Li Bo, along with his friend Zhang Chi, investigate Shu Ran, a schoolmate who is under significant suspicion. During the investigation, Li Bo develops an indescribable feeling towards Shu Ran, throwing him into a dilemma.

At the end of the film, Shu Ran believes she can protect her father, Zhang Chi thinks he can succeed in reporting the case, and Li Bo feels he can protect Shu Ran. They naively assume that things will develop as they imagine, but that's not the case. The three children are like three butterflies waiting to break out of their cocoons, yet they can't fly out of the constraints that bind them.
