The violent mother left a long-term psychological shadow on the girl, and even after her mother passed away, she couldn't let go for a long time. One day, she finally unexpectedly found a way out for reconciliation. This film is Wen Qi's directorial debut, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Female supporting role for "Blood Avalokitesvara". She, together with post-90s director Zheng Ziyi, borrows Qu Yuan's "Tianwen" to raise girls' painful questions about their original family and growth experience. In the film, the repeated appearance of mirrors and water extends the camera space, and scenes from different time and space interweave with the imagery of water, revealing a mother daughter relationship of love and hate.
