The things we had lost in time differ, it is the reason why we can’t grow up together. Some events seem to be not important at the moment might became a crucial milestone in a personal sense. Through retelling and rewriting the memory, the pointless emotions turns to the flowing memory, and being able to preserved.
The film was shot in 16mm, based on a childhood (false) memory, transformed with fantasies and symbolic objects, and performed in a public environment. The elements in the film are both the markers of emotion and time, with montage, the outside world and inner scenery came across to each other.

本片使用16釐米底片拍攝,由兒時記憶出發,將象徵物、表演、與開放空間轉化為時間與情緒的標記。使用象徵與蒙太奇方法,呈現內心風景與外在世界的交錯。重寫記憶是保存情感的方式,本片以情緒的莫名的波瀾為主軸,重疊內在的時間、外在的時間與影像的時間,將記憶變造為抽象的詭態,一種有點campy的、模稜兩可的,又哭又笑的矛盾情感。儘管在遠方的當下無從感知,在記憶中經過的事物都可能成為時間的標記,某個乍看不重要的記憶也可能在另外一個時間點重述時,成為自我改變的標記。因為等待的途中丟失和獲得的東西不一樣,所以我們不能一起長大。
