梦影童年

(拼音: mèng yǐng tóng nián; 英文: Electric Shadows*)


DaBing is a water delivery man.
One day he accidentally knocks over a pile of bricks with his bike.
Out of nowhere, a young woman attacks him.
The police decide to send her to a clinic.
DaBing demands she tell him why she attacked him but she says nothing,
only holds up a sheet of paper on which she has written,
"Please feed my fish."
She gives him a key.

The key unlocks her room, which has been transformed into an old-fashioned movie theatre.
Amongst the film reels and posters, DaBing finds a sketchpad.
The sketchpad is a diary.

The film is her story.



这部电影让我流泪, 但是它非常好。
This movie made me cry, but it's really good.



*This is the English title of the film.
The English translation of the Chinese title is something like Shadows of Childhood Dreams.
