Directed by 魏曉波
One day after graduation, Xie Fang, a college classmate, came to find the director, and the two lived together in such a strange way. They found a lot of problems under the same roof. His temper became worse and worse, and his speech was sarcastic. She kept quitting her job, looking for new jobs, and often called him poor and asked for money. Is their relationship love? Is it sex? Or helpless enemy roommates? The camera in the corner quietly records every moment, leaving behind images of eating, sleeping, having sex, quarreling, and being in a daze. It straightforwardly presents the most private side of the director, and extracts a slowly brewing charm from the seemingly repetitive appearance of life.
Dialogue takes practice—whether with others or with yourself. How do we find common ground when our values differ? And how do we learn to live with the parts of ourselves that feel unfamiliar? Through conversation, we not only get to know and draw closer to others, but also begin to see our own place in relationships—and in the world—with greater clarity. It is in these moments that we become more willing to walk alongside others, with openness and care.
