Countless directors at all times, both at home and abroad, like to shoot children. In the eyes of children, the world will arouse the curiosity and desire to spy on adults.

But in fact, the world of children is very small, so small that most people think that it does not constitute a movie. After all, most of us do not live in the era of white terror like the teenagers on Guling Street, nor do we live in the era of white terror like Li Wan or A family as complicated as Akira Fukushima, we were born ordinary, grew up ordinary, and lived ordinary lives. We lived at two o'clock and one line at home and around ten miles from school.

But Director Abbas squatted down and observed their lives together with the children. Adults do not understand the children who saw grasshoppers screaming excitedly, but Abbas understood them. He really saw the ordinary lives of ordinary children, and found that One point, an adult seems to be too small to be trivial. Why do you have to pay it back, because the teacher said that if you don’t write it, you will be fired. The teacher’s words to scare the child are the biggest in the children’s eyes. One of the truths, so stubbornly started this adventure journey that is not understood by adults Li is just another community two stops away, but in the eyes of children, it is a thunder pool that requires a lot of courage to dare to step into it.

With this grand and meaningful adventure in the eyes of children, and with this film, we followed the camera and ran all the way, looking at it with fearful eyes, being rejected by people, frightened by dogs, and experiencing anticipation and loss.

The ordinary us and the extraordinary Abbas can see adventure in the daily life, and see the fun in the ordinary. The last flower is given to children and life.

    Abbas: Filming children's scenes is harder than filming Marlon Brando! At the beginning of "Where Is My Friend's Home", the blue-clothed boy Mohammed's workbook is torn by the teacher but he can't cry. I have never seen a very pleasant surprise. Abbas immediately tore up the photo, and the child cried on the spot, so the shooting was successfully completed~…
