影片主要情节讲的是女主角章月邂逅了一位留法回国的女画师粱浅。在章月记忆里母亲一直都是缺失的，因为父母离婚，从小奶奶对章月的母亲只字不提，甚至会销毁家中有关于她的一切。这种家庭中母亲的缺失与隔绝是在现实生活中真实存在的，此背景取材于真实事件。章月在大学争取到了出国留法的机会，在此期间，去世的奶奶却将母亲之前记过的东西还给了章月。章月顺着母亲在湖边的照片去湖边散心，遇到了有过一面之缘的梁浅，和章月的母亲一样梁浅也会画画，这也明明注定了二人之间的缘分。

章月想送母亲一副画像，请梁浅回来帮自己画画。两人因为这幅画产生联系，互相了解，在作画的过程当中萌生了情愫，这种情感的转变也通过章月的梦境代为表达。最终章月也来不及分清与试探对梁浅的这份感情，对于两个女孩子来说，梁浅想让章月留下也似乎变成了一种奢望。

Protagonist Zhang Yue meets a female painter, Liang Qian, who comes back to China after studying in France. There was never a motherlike character in Zhang’s memory because of her parents’ divorce. Her grandmother never talked about her mother, and even destroyed everything that is related to her at home. This sense of loss and isolation exists in real life—this film is based on a true story. Zhang gets a chance to study in France during college, during which her grandmother gives something about her mother back to her before passing away. Zhang walks along the riverside, following her mother’s old photo, and meets Liang. Liang is good at painting, just like Zhang’s mother, which implies the special relationship between these two. Zhang wants to give her mother a portrait as a gift and thus invites Liang to paint that for her. Their relationship and understanding towards each other get developed in the course of time. It becomes romantic, revealed through Zhang’s dreams. In the end, Zhang cannot figure out her feelings towards Liang. To those two girls, it seems impossible for Liang to have Zhang stay.

影片表达的本身就是一种还未成熟的情感，两个女生在刚开始有情愫的时候就被现实因素阻碍而戛然而止，这种对性取向并不明确的主角章月来说，淡然、忧伤的情感也是较为现实的。在我的故事中，两个女孩的相遇是偶然，但是相识是必然的，章月母亲曾在灞柳湖边留下照片，而梁浅一直在灞柳湖边画景卖画，两人的相识是源于画。在故事的结尾，女孩的“我想让你留下”也只能是沉默的凝视，也许就和短片中所讲的海怪的故事一样，海怪选择将女孩送回人类世界是因为“爱”。

The film depicts an immature attachment and feeling. The society set obstacles that troubled those two girls when everything just started. It is very realistic for the protagonist, Zhang Yue, who is still unsure about her sexual orientation, to feel sorrowful and gloomy. In my story, it is an accident for the two to meet each other, but also determined for them to know each other. Zhang’s mother once took a photo by the Ba Liu Lake, while Liang often stays there, drawing and selling her portraits. They meet each other because of the painting. Similar to the story in the short film where the Sea Monster chooses to send the girl back to the human world because of “love,” Liang’s wish for Zhang to stay can only be a silent gaze at the end of the film.
