Overview
This is a film about women's feelings and destiny, and a woman's conscious choice between heterosexuality and homosexuality. The film has always been shrouded in a rather strange atmosphere, and it still bluntly expresses the irresistible impulse and determination of women after their true desires are awakened. When Yimin was very young, she often liked to hide in corners and watch her mother change clothes. She thought that a woman's body was the most beautiful thing in the world. When she grew up, her body changed, but she tried her best to take it. Hidden away, because she never thought that she should be a woman. God gave her the body of a woman and made her destined to like women... In the process of searching for love, she went through countless twists and turns until she met this girl. (Peffin)... But what is their love in the end... A woman falling in love with a woman is destined to be not a complete love, but she is still willing to give her true love without regrets...
