Director's statement

The story is about a simple and clumsy boy, in the process of buying a beloved accordion, interesting things happened. In my creation, I have always been pursuing style, and I don’t want to be limited to skillfully using audio-visual language to tell a story. This film is a practice of my creative idea. In this cold humor comedy, with stylized audio-visual language, I wanted it presents a relaxed humor tone, bringing pleasure and interest to the audience.
