Jury's Comment

對土地的選擇，竟是存活的籌碼。躊躇往返的國界，卻是怎麼也跨不過的家土。

Discussion

藍憶慈導演：
這部片的創作源起跟過程是從我過去的記憶中去發想的，裡面有我的經驗也有虛構的部分，用這兩個部分去做創作的延伸。
劇本的創作思考方向，用一個鏡頭去凝視一個小女孩，依照故事與角色本身的形式去呈現，一場一鏡的簡潔，是我想表達的鏡頭語言。
片名的由來，也是因為片中的女孩，對生理畫面的反應。而血液的紅色象徵，來自我從國、高中的求學時開始認識青春期的過程，都念女校的關係，很自然的就會融入瞭解，同學之間也能大方的分享青春期的需求。片中，擺在洗手台上的手帕，是表達父親帶給女孩的壓力，手帕上留著血，代表女孩身體的轉變。爸爸要女兒說謊，是為了保護哥哥，卻也帶給女兒心理的孤單。
