Missing a thousand miles

The film is a bit like "The Birth of a Word" by Hong Kong director Wei Jiahui. "One" wants to talk about how people's poor choices will lead to different results. And "Lola" wants to talk about the truth of missing a thousand miles. The former is more subjective, the latter is more objective. The film is divided into three basically identical stories. Each episode starts with Lola running, and what Lola experiences in these three episodes differs only by a tiny bit, even a few seconds, and ultimately leads to very different endings for each of the characters in the three stories . A little difference can make or break things, for better or for worse. A small difference, a thousand miles away, should be the truth that the film wants to tell.
