This is a film that masterfully tells the impossibility of change, the illusion of a second chance that cannot materialize not only because life prevents it but also because we are unable to truly understand who we are and what we want, and if we do, we are unable to accept it. The photos taken by Yang Yang in the hope of capturing the part of truth that eludes us, the part that remains behind us, are extraordinary: it is also a declaration of poetics (or the discovery of a vocation) by Edward Yang, since his movie tries to do the same thing.
