本⽚创作灵感来源于我的个⼈故事——⾝处⼀段与社会主流不符、不被家庭传统价值观所认可的情感关系中，⾃我⾝份认知与原本的社会期待渐⾏渐远时，所感受到的挣扎和挫败。当困境摆在眼前，⽆法逃避、必须直⾯时，⼈会对⾃⼰的⾝份、关系，以及对当下存在的感知产⽣新的体悟和思考，影⽚想要捕捉的正是这个瞬间。同时，我也想描绘现代社会中⽆法被简单定义的关系，以及与之共⽣的必然疏离。

This film is inspired by my personal story – the struggle and frustration I feel when I am in an emotional relationship that does not conform to the mainstream of society and is not recognized by the traditional values of my family, and when my own perceptions of myself are drifting away from the original social expectations. It is this moment that I wanted to capture, when there is no way to escape from a difficult situation and one must face it head on, that creates a new realization and reflection on oneself, one’s relationships, and one’s perception of one’s existence at the present time. At the same time, I also wanted to depict the relationships that cannot be simply defined in modern society, and the inevitable alienation that comes with them.
