"What you don't you know is that when the universe expands again, everything will be as it is now. Whatever mistakes you make this time around, you will live through on your next pass. Every mistake you make, you will live through again, & again, forever. So my advice to you is to get it right this time around. Because this time is all you have."
Tenderly tackled in this poetic film is the theme of new versus old - the dueling emotions, the ambitions of an adolescence to metamorphosize versus his very roots that tug at his heartstrings and stop him from flying high and away, a widowed mother's grief and hopelessness versus her muted acquiescence - all captured with rawness, humanism, and an understated elegance. #BJIFF @UME双井
