Mom always braided my hair so tautly that it carved a distinct path atop my head. But one day, she cut off the carefully braided hair.
Along the path, I touched our unbreakable inner attachment, and the journey of female growth we were both unprepared to face.

巧妙地將髮線編織成一部女性故事，他溯往根源也緊緊相擁著那份被迫長成的哀楚；本片縱然不是首部之作，卻展現創作思路清晰與影像擴展的方法。
This lifetime is filled with moments akin to when my mom used to braid my hair. The stages of being a girl, a young woman, a wife, a mother—these phases always seem somewhat disconnected from the past. We are forced to grow intentionally or unintentionally, unprepared for what lies ahead. Life always moves forward, and we have to "grow strong." Now, I've reached a point where I must admit my moments of hesitance to move forward. Yet, I dare not show immaturity. But when I see our similar short hair and hair parting, I realize we share similar traces of growth and struggles. Presently, both my mom and I are moving forward passively, pretending to be strong. In this case, let me choose to be someone not strong.
