簡約的創作手法將每個面無表情的人物，透過詼諧，甚至癲狂的口吻敘述疫情封城間的微小寄望。那都是自由的嚮往。

This is my the second animation works in the covid-19 pandemic, It’s still the "homeless" as the main clue, the outbreak period, I stay at home, but my heart is still floating, yearning for more security and a life of ease, Three years later, there is still no improvement, We always see all kinds of absurd realities in the news, and these realities are more bloody than the plot.
