This film, which is less than 90 minutes, conveys the love and pain of a long-distance relationship in such a low-key and profound way. The director's way of telling stories is like getting along in a long-distance relationship, which is a time and space that is shattered one by one. What you cannot have is the continuity of ordinary life.
"It feels weird...It doesn't feel like I'm part of your life. I feel like I'm on vacation."
"It's hard to keep stopping and starting."
London, Los Angeles, eight hours.
The hardest part was not being able to say what she said - "We'll see you in half an hour."
Anna, at her most vulnerable, called Jacob and hysterically said over and over again "I'll see you in half an hour… I'll see you in half an hour…”

“Would it be easier if you felt like you could see other people when we are not together? Because I don't want you to feel like you're not living your life properly when we're not together."
Inevitably, in their separate lives, they had backups by their side. The bench fills the void left by the long distances, making ordinary days bearable. The bracelet engraved with patience, at the moment of cracking, laughs at the helplessness of long-distance feelings.

Five years after the romance started in Los Angeles, Anna is finally back here. In the bathroom, the shower water gushed down from the sprinkler, and they hugged each other naked, the once happy smiles and fiery eyes flashed in their minds. Release, speechless, the end of the play.
But then again, it turns out that everything is no longer there.

    Leng Sen is very realistic, don't lose the big because of the small!

    The quick cut and performance are all in place. The expression of love, desire, and despair is deeply moving.
