"People always see sex, drugs, and violence in my films, but what I want to express is actually the purest thing," the director said.

The plot of the film is quite simple, and you can even guess from the beginning to the end. The public lover Joseph's performance in this film is not very good. He is always suspected of pretending to be a ruffian. Not only is he small, I guess the actors themselves don't quite match the characters in the play.
Neil and Brian shared childhood experiences. It was a total disaster for Bryan, and for Neil, his history with the coach was complicated. "He really loves me, he calls me Angel," Neil said.

I'm praying for us to go back in time and erase it. Everything. But it's impossible, we can't get it back. So I can only sit quietly and tell how much the past has hurt us. I want to escape from everything in this world, pain and sorrow, And the endless suffering."
Finally he said:
"I pray to God to let us fly into the sky like two shining angels. Even disappear."
