Director Statement

This short film is a one-take shot lasting 25 minutes, but it covers a time span of one month. The film encourages the audience that even in the darkest moments of life, they should not believe lies and should never give up their lives easily.
One of the film's distinctive features is the temporal and spatial transitions within the same space. The story unfolds in Qing's home, and as the camera moves within the single indoor setting, the scene undergoes natural physical changes, such as from deep night to dawn, from clear to snowy weather, and the condensation of light and shadow changes in abstract time. This temporal and spatial transformation creates an atmosphere that is both realistic and transcendent. The film is not merely about the movement of the camera lens or just about time.
