SYNOPSIS
A sensitive and little self-closed collage student Chen, majored in acting and performance, is now under graduation. Facing the society he begins to feel helpless. Seeing changes of his first love Dandan, being fooled by a wealthy woman Sister Lin, tolerating the shame of being abandoned, suffering being forced to perform travestied show and the following complex, he felt completely lost.
He began to doubt about his identification, to doubt about the meaning of existence. At last, he denied his sexuality. After everything seems to be solved, Chen left a dairy-styled story ‘Carmen’and finished his life and destiny.

Director's Statement
<p>“It’s dream, which begins before my graduation, and not finished yet till now.” Just before graduate, with some friends of the same interests, we decided to make a special film work to farewell to our life as collage students——that is the origin of ‘Carmen’. Being interrupted, we took one and half year to finish this film, and nearly spent all the resources we had, but till now, ‘Carmen’ is still a half-done work. Not because we don’t want to finish it, but we created it under a very objective environment, our objective reality made this unfinished film. And when we surely stopped this unreasonable work, we found out the meaning of doing this, that’s the meaning of our reality.</p>
