Love of Silence
The plot describes a girl with a slight handicap who leads an ordinary life at school. Her best friend usually takes good care of her. But during these days, the girl gradually found that there was an atmosphere of love permeating around her best friend. She has never been in love, so she has a longing for a relationship. When a girl meets a boy, she gets very curious about the boy with the same disabilities. Gradually, they begin to walk into each other’s lives, the emotion of youth is also slowly fermenting...
What we want to express is that with the growth of fast-food love culture in modern society, depressive tendencies, emotional blackmail, and verbal bullying have frequently spreaded. Recall that in relationships, people are always blind, they will choose to turn a blind eye or turn a deaf ear, and even use extreme measures to hurt each other. But just imagine, when one day, all the abstract malice becomes concrete, when we really can’t hear, and can’t say I love you anymore. Without the voice and senses, can we still have the courage to love someone? Therefore, through the above reflection, we decided to use the physically and mentally disabled as the main axis of the story to illustrate their unique emotional appearance. We also hope to tell everyone that they are not too different from us, and hope society will treat them with gentleness.

I am Tsai, Han-Yun, from Tainan, the eldest child in my family. Since I was young, my parents carefully cultivated me to take many talent classes, like playing piano, dancing and painting. Therefore, my desire for art far exceeds that of children of the same age.
I like to read articles, watch movies, draw pictures, and listen to music. I like to enjoy the aesthetics in life, let myself wander in the vast universe of art, and at the same time cultivate my temperament. My personality is easy-going and willing to share. I like to communicate with others and share new knowledge. The desire to learn aesthetics is strong, and this has laid the foundation for images and aesthetics.
I have been particularly sensitive to aesthetics since I was a child, so I am more yearning for beautiful pictures. Before shooting the movie, I only knew how to tell a good story with beautiful pictures, but in the process of preparing this film, I began to learn to realize others’ life stories. Everyone has a different life journey and a different life landscape. In the process of understanding others, I know how to reflect on myself, what kind of person I will become in the future, and what kind of life I will have; thinking about what kind of inspirations can the film bring to the viewers? During the preparation of this film, countless tossing and turning around late at night, thinking about the meaning of the film to me, it turns out that the director not only pays attention to the picture, but also needs to understand the life course of the character. All-round guidance, insight, and observation skills are required. The harvest that I have obtained on the road of filming is far beyond my imagination. It is the film that illuminates my youth and illuminates my life even more.
