Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1997 China saw rapid economic change but rigid social structures; queer women often entered 'convenient marriages' to survive. Mei Liying captures this specific generational trap.
The title refers to Qing Qing's protective oblivion—and the film asks whether growing up means breaking that cocoon or building your own.
