导演阐述 Director’s Statement
国人的性压抑造就千万个人乃至家庭悲剧，男权社会规训下的性少数群体迫于压力或早或晚，或带着对“正常生活”的期许和莫名的归宿感，或被迫，或早或晚地步入异性婚姻中。我希望通过一个寻找母亲真正自我的旅途来表达女性的各类美好品质，比如宽容，忠贞，勇敢。
灵感源自对于自我未来的悲剧性假象，我是Chloe，人人都是Chloe，希望Chloe越来越少。影片中Chloe的照片附着在木质骨灰盒上，浸泡在喀米河水中慢慢漂向远方，温润的水波起伏，映着这对年迈恋人曾经的美好过往。水流不停，日照夺目，希望女同悲剧不再。
The sexual repression of Chinese people has created tens of millions of personal and even family tragedies. Sexual minorities under the discipline of patriarchal society are forced by pressure sooner or later, or have expectations for “normal life” and an inexplicable sense of belonging, or are forced to, Sooner or later, enter a heterosexual marriage. I hope to express all kinds of beautiful qualities of women, such as tolerance, loyalty, bravery, through a journey to find the true self of a mother.
Inspired by the tragic illusion of my future, I am Chloe, everyone is Chloe, and I hope there will be fewer and fewer Chloes. In the film, Chloe’s photo is attached to the wooden urn, soaked in the water of the Kami River and slowly drifting into the distance. The water is constantly flowing, the sunshine is dazzling, and I hope the lesbian tragedy will not end.
