Film Description:
Huang Xuan, who had just graduated but couldn’t find a job, placed the pregnancy test stick next to the bathtub with a worried expression. She told her boyfriend that she didn’t receive any care and blamed her for accidentally getting pregnant. Huang Xuan, who went to the hospital for prenatal check ups, never expected her boyfriend’s registration form and payment form to be all painless abortion. The two had a dispute at the hospital, and her boyfriend left the hospital and disappeared. Huang Xuan chose to have an abortion in order to retain her boyfriend. In the hospital, she met two women who were also undergoing abortions, each with their own unique experiences. The hospital was very quiet like a prison, and the crying from afar frightened the women. Huang Xuan walked into the waiting corridor, feeling that it was like an endless road. Huang Xuan felt like she had killed a child and her hands were covered in blood. Just before the doctor injected anesthesia, Huang Xuan said three words: wait a moment.
