„If there is rebirth after death,

Wish to become a tree,

Stand for eternity,

No postures for grief and joy.

Half reposing in the dust, Half soaring in the wind

Half spattering the shade, Half basking in the sun.

Greatly prideful, greatly taciturn,

Never to cling, never to seek…“

_____San Mao

Chinese writer Sanmao wrote this poem when she was studying in Goethe-Institut in Germany. The film will be based on this poem. The character gets lost in the wrong world. The world is full metaphor. In this world she experiences meeting, separation, hope and despair. And through such experience she grows up. In the end, she finds the self-confidence and hope of life. The film is explored from the point of view of the feminine and looks at the relationships between people themselves, others and society.
