 Overcast 浮沈

2021, 3min 37Sec.

OVERCAST is about the emotional relationship between parents and children, presented from the boy's point of view. The story begins with a free bird flying towards the sun. The boy takes a look at it, but turns his head to face the street, a metaphor for the contrast between the boy's curious mind and reality. The mother, who has a strong desire to control, causes a lot of pressure on the boy's mind and creates various delusions of his own. When he wants to enjoy happiness or want to have fun, he will suddenly see the face of his mother's rebuke, then the happiness will turn into sin. Back home is also full of pressure. When the boy sees a goldfish jumping out of the fish tank, he feels that it is like him suffocating. The plot makes the audience think whether it is the mother's Emotional intimidation or the boy's excessive self-delusion.

​

講述親子之間的情緒關係，以男孩的視角呈現，故事的開頭是一隻自由的鳥飛向太陽，男孩看了一眼，卻轉頭面對街道，比喻男孩好奇的心與現實的對比。劇情中有強烈的控制慾的母親，造成男孩心靈上的壓力，自己不斷產生各種妄想。當他想要享受快樂時．都會突然出母親斥責的臉，讓快樂轉變成到罪惡。回到家裡也滿壓力，男孩看到跳出魚缸個金魚，覺得快要窒息的像是他自己，劇情讓觀眾思考是母親的情緒恐嚇，還是男孩過度的自我妄想。
