Lin Xunzhou is thirty-nine years old, runs a gallery, is married to a husband who never gets angry, and lives a life that everyone thinks is good.
She herself felt there was nothing wrong with it.
The job is decent, the marriage is stable, and life is moving forward step by step.
Only occasionally, such as when the last light in the gallery was turned off late at night, or when she stood in front of the painting that had been hung for many years, she would suddenly feel an indescribable trance.
It seems like something was left behind a long time ago.
Shi Liang was thirty-eight years old, raising her daughter alone and running a floral studio.
After being divorced for many years, life taught her many things and made her accustomed to handling all problems by herself.
Others always think she is strong and sober.
Only she knew that some fatigue had been hidden for so long that she could hardly see it.
An exhibition collaboration brought two people who had nothing in common with each other to meet.
They all thought that the other person was just a passer-by in their lives.
But the proximity between people never happens in an instant.
Some stories begin with misunderstandings, and some answers are hidden over the years.
And those ignored regrets, unspoken words, and belated courage in life will eventually surface one day.
This is the story of two women re-recognizing themselves, understanding themselves, and learning to reconcile with the world.
It is also a story about growth, farewell, companionship and love.
Like a boat leaving the shore.
Some people leave the old shore, and some finally reach their own.
Intent: The process of women rediscovering themselves after being eliminated by time and marriage. Love is neither salvation nor attachment, but seeing each other and ourselves in a long life.
