Director's statement
This is a story about time. For the elderly grandparents, under the surface of poetic life, there is the instinct and struggle for survival. I took my camera and filmed them the year round, to witness their life this year. However, making a documentary is also the destiny of shooting. They experienced sickness, poverty alleviation, loneliness and struggle this year. When I follow the timeline and find that time is merciless, but year by year let their love grow deeper and deeper.
