影片介紹：

故事開始於一個雲霧厚重的夜裡，在蒼鬱的樹林中有一群生物竄動著，她們個個手擁著種子使命的奔跑，酷似一場球賽！球員們竭盡所能的全力達陣，趕在雲 霧漸開前將手中的種子安放在光鋪灑的地方；城堡內也同時進行著一場爭球的遊戲，只要將手中的球投入由樹根盤結成的網內，樹根將會起連鎖反應的開著勝利的花 朵！場內有一雙眼睛關注的不是哪一隊的勝利，而是探索著那壁畫圖騰裡的奧秘，她見證了先人為生命所做的貢獻，同時目睹了新生兒斷了跟母體連接的臍帶，呱呱 落地！

最後生命之樹化為母親的陰部, 花開的那一刻同時盼生也同時判死…

In one foggy night, there are a horde of creatures lurking in a lush forest, each holding seeds in their hands, dashing forward like in a football game! The players struggle to touch down, and plant the seeds in places of lights before the fog disperses. Inside the castle, there’s a game which is to throw the ball into the nets woven by tree roots and this will provoke a chain reaction that makes the nets burst into full blossom. There’s a pair of eyes in the field that are not concerned about which team will win. Instead, they are exploring the secrets from the strokes of the fresco. She witnesses the contribution that her ancestors strived for life, and she also watches umbilical cords being cut off between new born babies and mothers.

The moment flowers blossom is also the time of life as well as death…
