Synopsis

A friendship born from a shared longing for freedom unfolds into a mirrored journey of self-reinvention between two women artists. As creation, care and constraint interweave across generations, the film reflects on desire and vulnerability, healing and resilience, asking whether freedom can coexist with love — and where its limits might lie.

Director Statement

Wu Fan: ‘By weaving together XiXi’s video diaries and my voice-over contemplation, diving deeper into the memories and experiences that hinder me and XiXi from living our lives, the film is an effort to give a tender look at the vulnerability that one might experience in exercising agency. We make a sincere attempt to investigate and challenge inherited beliefs, creating a space for dialogue on the political questions of society’s acceptable values and how all these affect the innermost part of a person’s life. By creating this reflective distance, the film explores hopes and challenges of making one’s own path.’
