a very personal film

A large part of the story must have been the personal experience of the director and screenwriter named Emily Ting.
People who have had a similar experience just can't feel more empathy when they see it (just don't know how to put it right). The scenes and dialogues (full of sexual tension) that seem to be almost like the plot of a movie, like the stories around you and me, are actually the most naked restorations in the hearts of those who have experienced them (the second encounter is not known if it is made up). All the good things are presented in the minutes of getting along, that kind of rhythm that whenever you get close, you are pushed further by reality. It's really piercing. People who have had similar experiences will definitely remember what happened at that time. All the little details, and it feels like the time is really "flying" at that time (extremely desperate to hope that time can be paused, slower and slower). It's a pity that real life doesn't really start until the end of the movie, welcome back to reality.
