Description: 

Rooted in the intergenerational and realities of China, the film addresses how your existence is driven by a primal desire—one that has surged within you since birth—compelling you to confront the raw truth reflected in the deepest corners of consciousness’s black mirror. To find a path to explain yourself, to hypothesize, to argue with yourself, to reach conclusions and make choices—this obligation, like a perpetual motion machine, will follow you endlessly. From this moment on, you realize: no matter what, you must choose. There is no other way. Perhaps, what I’m calling for is this kind of courage.
