Simple but not simple,

Unreal but extremely real.

The confrontation between dream and reality,

A mix of five flavors of old grains.

Outside the childlike painting style, there are extremely concrete voices, extremely refined details, and extremely real experiences.

In addition to the illusory concept, it is the heartbeat when falling from the sky, the wrinkled face of the moon in the water, the scratching of the head when a dog is acting like a baby, and the shaking of the firefly.

The simple pictures are like children's ink brush paintings, each frame carries a wild imagination, like a clean and innocent child, but it carries the growth of a lifetime, the family fragmentation and childhood shadow caused by the gap between urban and rural rich and poor. Innocence is like beautiful and primitive nature being swallowed by industrialization and urbanization, and suddenly everything changes one day. The short and succinct film carries too much, and it seems like a lifetime from the beginning to the end. ★★★★
