The meeting of three kinds of media constitutes this person: See the expectation in the single frame, see the cheerfulness in the digital camera, and hear the fragile hearts in the film. The frames travel between home and Taipei. Then put the digital camera closer, stretch the film away. Each of them processes a kind of dialogue. Especially the private conversation with the sound of the screening. The combination of family film, the documentary, and the photographer who was recorded. This is the homework we gave to ourselves.

作為被攝者的婆婆一開始對於攝影機的存在不太習慣，但隨著時間推移，作者和婆婆之間的距離越來越近（影像和心理距離皆是）。即便是個平凡的題材，導演亦妥善地梳理了這個階段中和婆婆之間的關係。當對一個人有愛，那份情感是能被共感的。
“How a wife regains her life focus when facing the death of her husband, and how a grandson should connect more with the family when facing the death of his grandfather.” I call my grandmother “po-po”. She was a lively, people person, until the year before when Grandfather left her. She isolated herself, and the loss of life focus also stopped her from dancing. I realized that I have the responsibility to accompany her to move on, so through this piece of work, I hope that she can refocus her life back to herself; also, I hope to connect more with my grandmother.
