Story:
A new type of virus that uses human voice as a direct transmission route is spreading around the world. In order to curb the further spread and mutation of the virus, the governments of various regions have unanimously decided to activate the strict control mode of "silence in the whole city". The male protagonist, who has been quarantined for five months under the lockdown policy, has been wanting to go out and meet his girlfriend. Although he has long been accustomed to the state of isolation, the desire to return to freedom has never been domesticated and eliminated. Will those long suppressed voices meet at the end of the hustle and bustle? Or will we end up in a mute silence?

Director‘s Statement
Will the bird who is accustomed to the cage forget that the sky once belonged to itself?
This film is like a signal, I want to use it to remind people to be vigilant of being domesticated, to hold the right to speak, and the consequence of long-term repression and silence may be that one day we will forget how to express.
