In That Woman, a young traveler’s fleeting city stay unravels into a surreal meditation on meandering desires—sex, motherhood, and time’s chaotic grip. Tormented by sensations thick as meiyu mold, she escapes into visions of reeds piercing her skin and days splintering like glass.
在《那女子》中，一位年轻旅人短暂的城市停留，逐渐演变成一场关于游移欲望——性、母性以及时间混乱掌控的超现实冥想。她被如同梅雨季节般黏稠的感官所折磨，于是逃入芦苇刺破皮肤的幻象，以及日子像玻璃般破碎的意境。 The film mirrors her psyche: sexuality tangles with societal ghosts of maternal duty, while hours dissolve into formless voids. Through ink-blurred animation, her body becomes a battleground—flesh merging with rain-slick streets, memories warping into grotesque fantasies.
影片映照着她的内心世界：性欲与社会赋予的母性责任的幽灵纠缠在一起，而时光则消融成无形的虚空。通过墨迹模糊的动画，她的身体成为一个战场——肉体与雨水浸润的街道融为一体，记忆扭曲成怪诞的幻想。A haunting ode to unspoken choices, it lays bare the weight of existence, where time bends and fractures around her silent rebellion.

这是一首献给未说出口的选择的令人难以忘怀的颂歌，它揭示了存在的重量，时间在她无声的反抗中弯曲和破碎。
