导演阐述 Director’s Statement

上海封锁两个月后,我们终于可以走出家门,那种感觉极为强烈,一切似乎都不真实,所有的一切仿佛从未发生。两个月的焦虑、抑郁、疾病、恐惧、沮丧无处可寻。这座城市继续向前发展。

这部电影讲述的是上海封锁期间挥之不去的创伤。这是一部喜剧,因为它很荒谬。本片演职员人均为经历过这一切的酷儿。

When we were finally able to leave our homes after two months locked inside, the feeling was overwhelming, and nothing seemed quite real. Of course, none of this ever happened. Two months of anxiety, depression, sickness, fear, frustration never happened. The city has moved on.

This film is about the lingering trauma of lockdown in Shanghai. It’s a comedy, because this is absurd. Shot with an entirely queer cast and crew who lived this.
