In southern China, a nervous city woman in a sexy outfit appears in a remote rural village. She comes to her ex-boyfriend’s grandparents’ house to find him. Despite her loud, rude behavior, the locals hardly respond. Although she can’t find her boyfriend, she finds out the secret friendship his grandfather has kept for 60 years. A secret friend who has lived a long time with a language disability. Losing his memory and feeling death is near, he asks his lifelong friend for funeral supplies. Though it is his debut film, through the appearance of a city woman, the director restores the depth of feeling and memory modern Chinese society— changing at a faster pace than people can accept—can’t remember rather than shows the cultural conflicts between urban life and the traditional lifestyle. Partially funded by BIFF ACF Post-Production Fund in 2018, this movie confirms the excitement of Chinese independent films and restores the composite images of life thrown away for fun in commercial films, reflecting the basic value of independent films.
