Rain of silk love

这部电影讲述了两个年轻人的故事。作为绘画专业的学生，毕业时的催化剂加速了小宇和阿明之间模棱两可的关系。小宇性格矛盾且内向，阿明在意世俗的眼光。在新年前夜的派对上，小宇对一个陌生的吉他手K产生了病态的欲望，幻想K成为他的男朋友，小宇内心混乱，思绪如丝般缠绕。他爱的是谁？是错爱吗？可他喜欢阿敏，阿明也爱的是他。

新年前夜过后两人再次相遇，“恋人”借酒对话，表明各自的想法，说出背后的原因。显然这两个人并不合适，最终只留下一场空荡荡的、失落的暴雨，爱情化作一幅画，深埋在记忆之中。

The film tells the story of two young men, Xiaoyu and Amin, who are painting majors. The impending pressure of graduation acts as a catalyst, accelerating the ambiguous relationship between them. Xiaoyu is self-contradictory and introverted, while Amin is overly concerned with societal judgment. At a New Year’s Eve party, Xiaoyu develops a morbid obsession with a mysterious guitarist named K, fantasizing that K could be his boyfriend. This throws Xiaoyu into emotional turmoil, his thoughts tangled like silk. Who does he truly love? Is it a misguided affection? He has feelings for Amin, and Amin seems to return them.

They meet again after New Year’s Eve. Under the influence of alcohol, the two “lovers” finally have a heart-to-heart conversation, revealing their true thoughts and the reasons for their actions. It becomes painfully clear that they are not meant for each other. All that remains in the end is the memory of a desolate, heavy rain—their love now nothing more than a painting, buried deep within their memories.

当知道我们是什么身份的时候，像附了魔咒般，总是在暗示着，且被暗示着。试着去用犀利的语言，冷峻的笔触去批判着很多。每每时过境迁，成为大人的我们，真的需要向外去证明我们存在的证据吗？时间正在告诉大家，照顾好自己，爱自己才是终极答案。

Once we become aware of our identities, it’s like being cursed—we are perpetually giving and receiving subtle cues about who we are supposed to be. We may try to criticize so much with sharp words and a cold pen. Yet as time goes by and we grow into adults, do we really need to prove the evidence of our existence to the outside world? Time teaches us that the ultimate answer lies in taking good care of ourselves, and in self-love.
