This film is the true story of my uncle, and it takes place in my hometown, a land with magic powers. The land seems to have a consciousness of its own, as if time does not work on it, and it binds the people on it with a net woven by tradition. I always remembered the words of my high school teacher, "The more you want to describe the most sincere and passionate things, the more you should use declarative sentences and less interrogative exclamations." I didn't pay attention to it before, but when I started to make films, I realized that some emotions should be written in reverse, the purer and plainer they are, the more moving they are. So I used the most restrained shots to express the strongest emotions. The whole film consists of 28 fixed shots and one handheld shot, like a mirror in which everything is symmetrically spread out.
