Story
【Introduction】 We are independent filmmakers from China, dedicated to capturing moments that words cannot express. For us, short films are not just works—they are the most sincere expression of our lives. We wander far and wide, in search of the art within us. 
【Film】
Twenty-seven years—the time it took for our first work.
From the moment it came into being, it ceased to belong to us.
【Why We Need Your Help】
The backpack we carry is our home.
We create and live while carrying our own home.
Art, for us, demands time and heart.
Life—life has trapped us for now.
We have no selfish desires for life, yet we wish to persevere in life for the sake of art.
We have no institutional backing and no team support—this is a truly independent effort.
Every contribution directly helps bring this short film to life and allows independent voices to be seen.
By supporting us, you are not just supporting a film—you are supporting art itself.
