This isn't an arthouse film; it's not stuffy.
The movie begins with a female director played by Zhou Yun angrily slamming the table and shouting at the camera: "Do you understand films better than I do?"
The screen pauses the moment her voice drops.
"This woman is me." Zhou Yun's voiceover plays, "This looks ugly, right?"
The shot switches, and a woman pushes through a crowded scene, and she's none other than the fierce woman we just saw.
But she has completely changed her appearance, wearing a ponytail, a windbreaker, carrying a plastic bag filled with vegetables, walking forward with an expressionless face, not wearing any makeup, her whole face magnified on the big screen, you can almost see the flaring of the alae of her nose with each breath.
