Director‘s Statement:
Masturbation in Chinese carries the meaning of "self-comfort." Among activities related to sex, "masturbation" is the only term that naturally creates a barrier between "self" and "others." This is a collection of masturbation stories from five girls in their early twenties, and it serves as a modern fable reflecting the mental state of contemporary youth. At the same time, I aim to turn it into an artistic game that challenges three habits of observation: reading, watching, and listening, or a book of life—one that writes about youth, women, sex, love, and the complex relationship between the individual and the outside world.
