Home is a cage that binds women, and the only color is to break out of the cage, become a wild horse, and run towards freedom.

In the film, the lives of the girls are warm and sunny, and the family rights of the grandmother and uncle are dark, boring and unable to communicate. Although it is love, it is still under the established rules. When your grandmother talks about it, you are the most easily moved at your age, love will come soon, and you will fall in love with your husband. In the life of the ancestors, the women of the ancestors used to have a free heart of color, but they were suppressed and returned to the dark dress from generation to generation.

The marriage and love of the five sisters represent the five forms of women in society. The eldest sister and the second sister got married on a blind date, and a lucky one met a loving husband, happy. The second sister married a stranger, endured the insult of having no virgin blood on the wedding night, was repeatedly scolded, and despised by society. The third sister committed suicide, silently resisting. The fourth sister has a free heart, but lacks the power to act, while the fifth sister, Lalei, is young but has an extraordinary power of action.

In the film, Wumei's age, youth, and gender are difficult to distinguish. In social customs, only men have the calmness and rationality. They make various plans to escape and learn to enrich themselves, but they are presented in this adolescent female. In body, in mind. The gender ambiguity of appearance reminds us not to use worldly eyes to define women. As long as there is a strong and brave heart, everyone, regardless of gender, will move forward and pursue freedom.
