A WELDER

在中国南方一座荒凉的小镇，焊工于鱼沉默寡言，长期身处粗粝的男性劳动环境中。某夜，他救助了一位摩托车事故中的女孩。她的短暂出现，触动了他深埋内心的某种欲望。他开始意识到，真正吸引自己的，也许是一个男人。性别与欲望的边界逐渐模糊，他在现实与迷惘之间游移，陷入一片情感的灰色地带。

In a desolate town in southern China, Yu Yu, a taciturn welder, spends his days in the coarse world of male labor. One night, he rescues a girl from a motorcycle accident. Her fleeting presence stirs a long-buried desire within him. Gradually, he realizes that what truly draws him may not be a woman, but a man. As the boundaries of gender and desire blur, Yu Yu drifts between reality and confusion, sinking into a gray zone of longing and uncertainty.

和泽宇，出生于山西省，拥有中国电影艺术研究中心硕士学位。代表作包括《咕咕鸟的鸣叫》和《矢量图》，作品展示了其独特的叙事风格。导演关注复杂的情感表达，探讨社会变迁带来的诸多问题，致力于通过电影展现当代中国社会中人与人之间的情感冲突。

Born in Xinzhou, Shanxi Province, holds a master’s degree from the China Film Art Research Center, widely recognized as the China Film Archive. His diverse portfolio includes both fiction and documentary works covering a range of subjects, all underscored by a keen focus on critical thinking about modern China’s social reality.

本片聚焦当代人普遍面临的孤独与情感压抑。这种孤独不仅来自家庭责任、社会期待与工作压力，更源于个体在情感表达与自我认同上的缺口。

主人公于鱼是一名年轻焊工，长期处于粗粝的男性劳动环境中。他习惯沉默，习惯隐藏。当他在夜晚救下摩托事故中的女孩时，内心被意外触动，却逐渐意识到，真正吸引自己的也许是另一位男性。性别与欲望的界限随之模糊，他在现实与迷惘之间游移。

影片并不为这种情绪寻找单一原因，而是保留其复杂性与模糊性，力求真实展现“难以言明”的困境。通过焊花、夜色与潮湿南方氛围的影像，本片呈现了一个普通劳动者的内心世界：孤独、游移，却渴望被理解。

This film explores the loneliness and emotional repression common in contemporary life. Such isolation arises not only from family responsibilities, social expectations, and work pressure, but also from the absence of genuine expression and self-recognition.

The protagonist, Yu Yu, is a young welder immersed in the rough, masculine world of physical labor. Silence and concealment have become his way of survival. One night, after rescuing a girl from a motorcycle accident, he is unexpectedly stirred, gradually realizing that what truly draws him may be another man. As the boundaries between gender and desire blur, he drifts between reality and confusion.

The film does not reduce his emotions to a single cause, but preserves their ambiguity. Through welding sparks, nocturnal streets, and the damp atmosphere of a southern town, it portrays the inner world of an ordinary worker: lonely, uncertain, yet longing to be seen and understood.
