      You don't have to say, I'm always behind you

      Talking content: The father started to ride a bicycle with his daughter on the road, the wind lifted the corners of his clothes, and the daughter's expression was full of happiness.

      wait

By the river, the father stopped the car and left suddenly, leaving behind the lonely figure of the child when he...

      In the word "waiting", there is endless dependence and concern

      In the word "waiting", there is endless dependence and concern - a very pure family affection, which may arouse many adults who have been numb. Silent language is just right.

      The storyline of the short film reminds me of how I read it repeatedly when I was very young, and every time I read it, I was moved to cry, and I had to read it to my parents, and then my parents looked at me with inexplicable eyes and cried while reading 365 "Little Yellow Dog" in Tian Story...

    Filming and production

    The use of "Father and Daughter" lenses is very particular, and every lens application has been carefully considered. Most of the entire short film is still shot, and most of the film uses a long-range lens to push the subject and background into the distance, giving people a sense of emptiness and silence. In addition, the short film lens switching is also in place, and close-up shots are used many times according to the needs of the...
