Director Statement

I want to explore a girl's physical desire towards women. What was it like growing up without a mother? How does this belated mother trigger an emotional and physical response in the girl? Puberty is a particularly sensitive point, girls are often difficult to talk about their sexuality, look directly at their sexuality, and the existence of mature women is both a mirror and a catalyst. The story comes from the three-month rainy season in my hometown. Every rainy season, trees absorb water at night and grow freely, and people are the same. Their senses become sensitive. Rain is the white noise that sootens the body when sleeping, and it is also the source of anxiety. Sweltering rain like an Ying in the heart can not explain unknown emotions, and the body instinctively responded, An Ying submerged in the winding of curiosity and desire.
