감독

The director attempts to use everyday camera-recording to trigger more communication with his mother in order to solve the generation gap in language and value. He tried to provide more possibilities with his mother to rethink their present living status, their past and social impacts on their private life, rather than indulging in emotional complaints or chronic self-accusation. However, even though the camera indeed helped them to achieve a deeper heart-to-heart conversation, he was not sure, to what extent did they establish empathy to life.
