故事大綱

Synopsis

初⽘是⼀個有點社恐的年輕攝影師。她時常夢到自⼰丟失照片,⽽現實里她丟失的是底片,日⼦久了她也漸漸習以為常。她每天出門前都會存⼀張寶麗來自拍,等放滿盒⼦,就是她去給哥哥世⽘掃墓的時候。

初⽘在嘗試去畫廊尋找機會的,但⼀路碰壁。在畫廊的集中區,街頭藝⼈溯與她相識。後來,她看到了神秘藝術家XX的作品。初⽘越瞭解他,就越像是真實的和存在於奇怪的在共鳴和通感中。初⽘似乎和他談了⼀場戀愛。直到她有⼀天看到XX的新作品,其中⼀張很像她遺失的底片,⽽另⼀張是拍溯在跳⽕舞的。她知道溯晚上會在海邊跳⽕舞,不顧自⼰的懼怕,希望能找到答案。在混亂中,她又經歷了⼀次⽕光中的混亂,也在似曾相識的場景中找到了答案。由⽕開始的困境與謎團,也因為⽕⽽逐漸消散。

All the hours Chu-yao shies away from socialising, she hides in her darkroom.

Déjà vu strikes her in the works of XX, a mysterious photographer. No one knows who he is, where he comes from or what he looks like. Digging through XX’s works, Chu-yao discovers she has been to all the places he went but they have never met, and she gets a strange feeling of familiarity about him.

Chu-yao then discovers that XX also shot Sou’s fire dance. Sou is a street artist who has been her subject too, as well as the lens through which she rationalises the world. Hoping to find out more about XX, Chu-yao rushes to find Sou, who is performing a fire dance on the beach, despite her fear of fire.
