“My dear, It's the first day since we broke up. I thought this day would be no different than before, but then again it really feels so different.” This is a film made by only two people. An experiment, an obsession, a sense of ritual.

Director‘s Statement:
Something about "TAKE YOURSELF HOME" The truth is that every day is still every day, whether we break up or not. It is no different from yesterday, only that we think it is different. The loneliness of human beings is just a repetition of day after day. The original idea of the film was not about a break-up, it's just that I wanted to make a story about me and the actor, the two of us. The film was shot with just two people, from the cast to the shoot, which can be described as a strange obsession, and when the difficulties came up, I'm glad it was two people who overcame them together. By following the daily life of the actor, I accumulate material at first. And in the process, I gradually develop a script, which we then refine in different emotional experiments and follow up with filming to complete the film. This is a process that infuses a lot of current feelings. In the end, I realized that one person is alone; two persons together is two person's loneliness.
