Director's statement
This is a narrative short film in the form of a documentary. We try to add more elements from other genres into the film with a rough and realistic tone. We hope to explore more possibilities of the pseudo-doc short films. Through the perspective of the participants, the film reveals the struggling life of a less-privileged young man, who strives to climb up the social ladder and is unable to win the woman he loves.
