這一天,阿嬋家雞舍的圍籬被風吹垮,雞群四處逃散。然而,60多歲的阿嬋和80多歲的母親有更緊急的事要處理。她們抱著心愛的貓咪小乖的遺體,在教會緬甸志工的幫助下,從高雄鄉村趕往市區動物保護處,準備為小乖火化。抵達後卻發現只能進行集體火化,無法帶回骨灰。三人心急如焚,希望能為貓咪小乖找到最好的善終安排。

On this day, an elderly Taiwanese mother and daughter, accompanied by a Burmese volunteer, journey from a rural area to an urban animal crematorium, tenderly carrying the body of their beloved cat, in hopes of ensuring its final journey is marked by peace and grace.

這幾年,我久久會和一位80多歲的婆婆及她60多歲未婚的女兒吃飯,道別時她們一起離開的背影,總深深烙印在我心中。我不禁想如果有天其中一個離開了,留下的那個會孤獨嗎?當她們面對死亡時,會是怎樣呢?

有次朋友家雞舍被風吹倒,雞卻沒有逃走。「缺口」、「逃走」、「生命自由」的概念逐漸在腦中浮現,讓我聯想到現在香港新世代的微妙狀態。
《貓與雞》就是這些小想法,與拍攝期間的不可預測,所碰撞出來的創作吧!

In recent years, I often have meals with an elderly woman in her 80s and her unmarried daughter in her 60s. The back sight of them leaving together after our meals has left a deep impression on me. I can't help but wonder what would happen if one of them passed away. Would the other feel lonely? How would they handle death?
Once, my friend's chicken coop was blown down by the wind, yet the chickens did not escape. This made me think about ideas like "gap" "escape" and "freedom of life" and how they relate to the current state of the new HK generation..
"After the Cat" is a result of these thoughts and the unexpected moments during filming.
