站住过来等等 ｜ Weather Forecast

A self-written and self-directed debut short film "Weather Forecast" amid a society increasingly marked by anxiety and indifference in interpersonal relationships.

During the development of the society, societal anxiety and indifference have become increasingly prevalent, causing people to view society events with a more apathetic perspective. In an effort to rekindle empathy for the values of “truth, goodness, and beauty” in life, I made the short film “Weather Forecast”. Through a child’s perspective, it narrates a story of goodwill circulating and transforming between strangers. I aimed to evoke people’s feelings toward the innocence and faith of the child’s world.

SYNOPSIS

Xinxin lost his cat before the typhoon, but his grandma tells him that the person who loves each other will meet again. One night, attracted by the sound of a music box in the stairwell, he spots a strange man smoking. He throws candy at the man to stop him smoking. The next day, Xinxin and the man meet again in the stairwell. After some conversation, he inadvertently passes on the concept that his Grandma told him to the man. Soon after, Xinxin's cat comes back to him, and he posts a note on the stairwell's window telling the man this good news.
