Metamorphosis
The director presents the process of childbirth in the form of a picture book, telling the story to Butterfly’s daughter. Taking on the role of a companion—like a gentle friend—the director offers a close, eye-level perspective, accompanying a mother who chooses natural childbirth through her journey of pregnancy and delivery. In the end, the director reveals that her mother gave birth to her sister in the same way when she was three years old, yet she missed that moment. Years later, she observes and shot the birthing process, expressing a deep respect for mothers' strength and greatness interwoven with narration and reality.
