Su Yi is an adopted child of the Su family. He is one year older and is the nominal elder brother of his younger brother Su Yun. He has been taciturn since he was a child and has a withdrawn temperament. Only when he looks at his unrelated brother, his frozen eyes will reveal a trace of imperceptible tenderness.
Su Yun is the biological son of the Su family, a talented painter who is deeply troubled by depression. His world is dark and broken, and only his brother Su Yi is his only source of light and obsession, pulling him back from the edge of countless collapses.
They depend on each other and draw all the warmth they need to survive from each other. He is the only audience under his lens, and he is the eternal subject on his canvas. This tight bond has quietly deteriorated year after year, giving birth to a love that transcends family ties and is astonishing.
However, when the secret was discovered, the traditional Su family parents could not accept it. They couldn't understand, let alone agree with it, that their adopted son, whom they regarded as their own, would fall into such a relationship with their biological son that was not tolerated by the world.
So, love became the original sin. Protection becomes confinement. Home has become an inescapable prison.
Faced with overwhelming opposition and tremendous pressure, how should two young people who have already carved each other into their souls make a choice? Compromise to the secular world and strip off the other half of flesh and blood? Or should we go hand in hand and exchange for eternal freedom in the most decisive way?
This is a story about love and paranoia, protection and destruction. They met in the name of brothers, but they agreed to die as lovers. ——It wasn't until everything was irreversible and the parents scattered their ashes into the sea that they realized that the weight of that love was enough to sink all prejudices, but it was also so heavy that it was irreparable.
Intention: Love can transcend all barriers, but the shackles of the world are sometimes more suffocating than the deep sea.
