Director’s Statement
I wanted to make a film for the younger generations. By showing the way of expressing love in an ordinary Chinese family, I tried to portray the people’s lives, which is “drifting.” The film was premiered at San Sabastian the 67th International Film Festival. I hope you enjoy it.
