Story:
It was the day the two girls met on tinder match after returning to their hometown Yibin for the holidays. One of them had just lost her job in Beijing and moved back home. The other was on vacation from the United States. The question of one of the girls gathered their thoughts: will the world change themselves, or will they change. The dislocation of thinking and adventure in the hometown, the self-analysis of identity, briefly unveiled some unresolved fog, but also let them feel the direction of their relationship.

Director‘s Statement:
Yibin, my hometown, is a magical place: the turquoise Minjiang River and the yellow Jinsha River meet in Yibin to form the Yangtze River, and Nezha's palace, said to have been built by Ne Zha in a dream, stands high in the mountains. "Water" and "bridge" are the symbols there. When I returned to Yibin in the Spring Festival of 2023, I found many interesting sights from the meticulous exploration I had not done before. As a girl, I use the girl's perspective to write girls' conversations and discuss the relationship between girls. Finally, I also played the role of the brunette girl. The lengthy conversation between the two girls is also an experiment in lines that can be arbitrarily extended after the topic is thrown out. As much energy as in video production is devoted to music production, all the music and sound design of the film is original. After setting a train passing through one of the scenes, I chose to make experimental jazz music with saxophone as the main instrument, and found a very excellent music producer to make sound design and original music for the whole film.

两条河流的相遇是一条流动的场景,两个携带着巨大差异的女孩却好像若即若离。声效上的处理放大两人之间的心理距离,天台上的舞蹈创造一种又亲密又疏离的情境。表演是短片的遗憾,像是在背台词。
