A is a painter and B a singer. They are a pair of lesbians. They live together
peacefully, building up a pure and beautiful, but closed and vulnerable two-person world. The author has gained an insight into the depths of their heart by touching upon their emotional experience. Echo Y. Windy:
“I’ll never forget the feeling at the first sight of them: shock. The shock came from their eyes: A looked a bit away, showing her long self-seclusion; in B’s eyes there was something lonely. They stood there in the
morning sun, with the noisy street behind them and the bright campus in front. Yet they weren’t associated with all of this; they were far away from the world, as if living on an island. Afterwards, many people
asked me how I was able to have that deep understanding of them in such short time. Perhaps it is because I’m honest and frank and never hid my purpose in shooting the film, or the idea behind it. And they did the
same. In other words, we finished our work by exchanging honesty. What most attracted me in the film is that I could experience different lives with different persons as a recorder and witness. The process of
recording is the one of understanding their lives, as if I had lived like an actress, but always as an outsider. I did not know what would happen next. It was the improvisation that made me excited.” [aus dem
