该故事的灵感是我常年生活的家乡海南中洞察而来，我观察到在海南本地有许多处于青春期躁动的少年少女们，他们渴望自由又被现实所困顿，所以我想通过这个故事来探讨其背后蕴含的普遍社会现象——原生家庭的影响、青少年的迷茫、遇到事情后面临责任与隐瞒的道德困境。我希望能通过这个短片传达关于青少年成长、变化和逆境的主题。它试图表达青春期这个生命阶段的美好与复杂，并探讨人们在面对生活中的变化和挑战时的心理转变和成长。通过情感的对比和转折，观众可能被引导去思考人生阶段的变迁，以及在成长过程中所面对的内外挑战。

The inspiration of this story is my insight from my hometown Hainan, where I have lived for many years. I have observed that there are many teenagers in Hainan who are restless in adolescence. They long for freedom but are trapped by reality. Therefore, through this story, I want to explore the universal social phenomena behind it — the influence of the family of origin, the confusion of teenagers, and the moral dilemma of responsibility and concealment after encountering things. I hope to convey the theme of youth growth, change and adversity through this short film. It attempts to express the beauty and complexity of adolescence, a life stage, and to explore the psychological transformation and growth of people in the face of changes and challenges in life. Through emotional contrasts and transitions, viewers may be led to reflect on the vicissitudes of life stages and the internal and external challenges they face as they grow up.
