Film Description:
Lin Han was torn between her father’s expectations and her own ideals, yearning to pursue her passion like Yan Yan, yet unable to ignore her family’s desire for stability. Yan Yan, a part-time employee at a photography studio, received an acceptance letter from a foreign university one day—marking a new beginning but also heralding their impending separation. The unspoken feelings between them gradually surfaced. Two years later, Lin Han attended Yan Yan’s photography exhibition and saw a photo of herself that Yan Yan had secretly taken by the seaside back then. Upon reuniting, the two grew even more certain of the emotions they shared—something far deeper than friendship.
