Men and women share a secret. In their dreams after nightfall, they would always turn into two deer, foraging together in the forest after the snow. The stag always touches the female with his nose to express his silent love.
"Flesh and Spirit"
The man was Ender, the chief financial officer of the slaughterhouse. Colleagues can only see him in the office window. The sun shining through the window was warm. Ender's face was always meticulous, like a piece of ice that the sun couldn't melt.
Ender's left hand was disabled for many years. Since then, he has rarely smiled at anyone.
A new quality inspector came to the slaughterhouse, and everyone called her Maria. Maria is not social and does not like to chat with people. Ender stood by the window, watching Maria draw back her shoes from the sun a little bit into the shadows. He seemed to see his own shadow in the cautious Maria. He feels kind.
Ender began to have a very strange dream, he became a foraging stag.
In the quiet and lonely jungle, the snow is covered with withered yellow and dilapidated weeds. There's a female deer over there where the snow melts. It was there for Ender every night.
Ender and Doe are familiar companions. Ender often gave the doe all the fresh leaves he found under the snow; but they were so unfamiliar with each other that they didn't even have much physical contact. Only when drinking water did the noses of the two deer occasionally touch each other.
The dream of walking in the snowy forest was so real that Ender began to look forward to meeting the doe every night. In the dream, he found a long-lost comfort. Especially when the female deer appeared, Ender's heart, which had been silent for many years, had a hint of throbbing.
Coincidentally, Maria was having the same dream. She is the doe.
The exchange of dreams between two people is due to an accidental psychological profile. An unremarkable consultation turned into a poetic encounter. In addition to being surprised, Ender's mood was a little complicated. Nervous, but more than excited. The ethereal dream suddenly projected into reality and became clearly visible.
He fell in love with Mary, and felt that Mary fell in love with him too.
Absurd fantasy love.
Love is the most unreasonable thing in the world. It sometimes comes in a hurry: an accidental glance in the crowd; the faint fragrance lingering on the side of the handsome font; the slender back of the guitar focused on the street lamp; even... in a dream, the stag's nose accidentally touched the doe.
Unlike usual couples in love, Ender and Maria only use dreams to communicate their love. They meet in the snow forest every night, get up and write down what they saw in their dreams and then exchange with each other. In the real world, a man named "Ender" and a woman named "Maria" cannot see what each other is thinking. But in the dream at night, the two deer forage and walk together in the quiet snow forest.
This is a dream of love. It grows from the rootless consciousness, but it has already reached the highest state of love.
The new male employee of the slaughterhouse speaks rude words, and the women around him burst into laughter; Ender's partner suspects that his wife is cheating, and deliberately steals the mating powder just to get the evidence that "should exist". Men and women of sound mind and body are attracted to each other by lust, and jealous of each other by jealousy. They both have crazy possessiveness, but never trust each other. No matter how hard you try, you can only go around in circles in the endless cycle of love and hate. And two ordinary men and women who are physically and mentally handicapped, just relying on illusory dreams, they have caught the purest form of love.
Really dark humor.
But even a soulmate like Andrea, still has to face reality after waking up. Maria was terrified of Ender's physical touch. Her emotions were as pale as her skin tone was sickly. And Ender had become vulnerable in previous failed relationships. He paranoidly thought that Maria, like the previous women, hated her disabled arm.
The snow forest in the dream looked a little melancholy. The doe disappeared, and Ender scurried through the woods, trying to find her trail. Two lonely souls are close to each other in a dream, but stop at a light touch in reality. Maria tried to change her own incomprehension, but Ender seemed to have lost his patience with others. He rejected Maria rudely and helplessly, closed the door of his heart with a bang, and put a few locks on it.
Like a first love. Thinking that the other party does not understand his own heart, he goes mad with grief. Ender did, and so did Maria. The woman who was trying to cure her illness couldn't accept Ender's rejection. She looked calm and dipped herself into the bathtub. Maria opened the "Love Music" she found, and slashed a steady line on her wrist with broken glass.
What is more painful than losing a loved one?
"I...I think I'm dying. I love you so much."
Ender's voice was on the phone. For the first time, Maria felt her turbulent emotions and couldn't help crying.
It turned out that Ender was as desperate as he was.
"I love you too."
Luckily Ender called, but fortunately Maria didn't lose blood fast enough to knock her out. Two people with different disabilities are finally fortunately united. This love born from a dream did not dissipate into a butterfly after waking up from the dream.
The next morning, Ender and Maria, who were sitting together for breakfast, looked at each other happily. After taking the tomato handed over by Maria, Ender suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what did you dream about last night? Somehow I can't remember."
"I didn't dream about anything last night."
Xuelin disappeared.
Here is where the movie comes to an abrupt end.
