Director's Statement
I wanted to convey to the audience the theme of freedom through the film, that as human beings, we have the right to choose our own lives without being constrained. In the current society, we have a lot of restrictions brought by the outside world, you can’t talk about politics, you can’t refuse unfair treatment, you have to conform to your gender, and you have to shoot films that are recognized by the mainstream. But let’s look at our own lives now, people are born with the ability to create life, we are given the ability to do such things, people can do something with their own material bodies, this can be done, gay girls can also get pregnant, as girls can also like girls, You can create art, and you can also destroy everything you create, even yourself, as long as you feel that this is yourself, you can do anything.
