Story 1: Destiny in love
Destiny is like a lover in a dream. You want to be close, but you can't have it. Once you have it, you will be dominated.
Director's Monologue: In the silence, outside voices gradually seep in.
Woman: Talking is never like the voice becomes a part of you, like the sea, in the end you can't hear him because it has become the word you keep hearing.
After waiting all night, the man didn't knock on the woman's door. Two years later, they met again.
Woman: Why do I long to hear what other people have to say. Maybe it's because no one wants to talk anymore.
M: When we are under some kind of spell, we long to be controlled like slaves. At this moment, I am dominated by your silence.
Man: My grandmother can tell fortunes from a coffee cup and she knows the fate of people she has had coffee with. (I met the destined woman, I escaped for two years) In the
end, the man left, and here is a very freehand "naked air touch" to reflect the man's resistance to fate. Fate is like your dream lover, full of The temptation is also full of restraint, like the voice is dominated by the silence, just like the man who left is dominated by the smell.
Classic long shot: The director picks up a postcard from a phone booth by the sea, sits on a swing and rippling with the wind, the white sand lifted by the sea breeze is like rolling clouds, and the fate of people wafts with the wind. (Title "Days on the Clouds")
The second story:
a woman in the family who had never met her fate told the director about her father-killing story. She stabbed her father twelve times. She said that the director reminded her of a person and made love to him. Electra plot.
Story 3: The fateful
man in the marriage returned home, the room had been emptied by the cheating woman, and another woman came in at this time, saying that the house was rented to me by your wife, and I also brought furniture. This new woman looked in the mirror in the bathroom, and the man looked at her as if he saw his own woman, and said: I understand why she cheated, and I'm not going to leave.
Any cheating is just looking for a replacement, the woman goes and takes the furniture, another woman comes in and brings the furniture, but I'm not going to leave, like nothing ever changes, maybe that's what marriage is all about , I intend to go with the flow.
This story is actually a flashback. The story ends on the train, and a female passenger sits across from the director. This woman is the woman in the photo. The story was told to the director by her. It's the same as the pick-up scene at the beginning of this story, "Go too fast and lose your soul".
Story 4: A man of destiny in faith
falls in love with a woman who loves only God, and follows her to church all the time. Men love life and desire, women love God and death. The woman decided to leave her destiny to faith.
The woman said, I will be a monk tomorrow.
Male: What if I fell in love with you
Female: It's like lighting a candle in a bright room
The director's monologue at the end of the film: behind each image, there is another more real image, and there is another behind this image, and there is another behind this image, to the last invisible image, that is the most real world. (The director's face gradually sinks into the darkness in the window)
The director's monologue at the beginning of the film: I began to try to define the next work. In the middle, reality can be lit up, and in the silence, the sound of the outside world gradually penetrates.
