无法未成年 ｜ In Your Arms Like I am a Leaf

Set in a humid southern Chinese town in the year 2015, shortly after China ended its One-Child Policy, this is a coming-of-age story centered on a 17-year-old girl facing the pressures of university entrance exams just as her mother unexpectedly becomes pregnant.

Told from the perspective of the daughter ten years later in 2025, the film reflects on memory, fear, and the quiet transformation of family. Trapped between duty, shame, and fear of being replaced, the girl struggles—but also gradually grows.

故事发生于2015年，中国结束独生子女政策后的第一波生育潮中。

影片通过十年后（2025年）长大成年的女儿视角展开回望，讲述她在高三那年面临高考巨大压力之时，母亲却意外怀孕并生下第二个孩子。

她即将离开家乡去往大学或更大的世界，而母亲却是她最爱、最不愿割舍的大树。夹在成长与分离之间，和“被替代”的恐惧、责任与羞耻之中，

她跌跌撞撞地前行。
