Director's statement
"This is a story started with a football. The happiness and sadness of adults and children are linked to this football. Therefore, from the beginning we wanted to find an interesting perspective to tell this story. We tried the perspective of a child，such as Sang Guo or Tank; we also tried the perspective of an adult, such as PE teacher or the principal. But none of these above satisfied us. Finally, we found that this old and broken football is like an eye. It could see everything we can see, and see things we can’t. It is sometimes a child who is innocent and happy, sometimes an old man who has experienced vicissitudes. The most important thing is that it understands the child’s heart, so it can be the best friend of the children".
