Director's Statement
I’ve already had this idea three years ago, but the answer was “impossible”! These years China developed so fast, now we finally made it, with six mothers “came out” together with their children, I really appreciate! From their stories, we found out how important the communication is, not matter to gay audience or straight audience, it’s good to know!
