Private Project

Only one kid

Zhang Jianjun is a fisherman from Luoma Lake. Although he and his wife Hongxia already have a teenage son, Zhang Xiaohu, they still choose to take the risk and continue to have a second child. In order to avoid inspection, Hongxia pretended to be ill and did not show up for many days, but Hongxia's delivery date was approaching, so she reluctantly found a small clinic and moved to the delivery room it opened in the pigsty, but the village head's suspicions are closing in on them.

Director Statement

I am a female film director , but I don't want to record the occurrence of this story from a purely female perspective.
Cooperate with the screenwriter to weaken the female perspective while retaining the basic objective perspective in the original story framework, and used a more masculine and more juvenile perspective to explain the entire script.
Weakening and labeling female characters to conform to the background of the times, such as letting the mother give birth in a pigsty , I tried to use pigs to express the loss of control of women over their bodies in the era, and became a victim of the times.
