This work is a cooperation with the long-time collaborator, scriptwriter Chen Wan-Yin.

The inspiration comes from Hsu Che-Yu's family memory. Hsu's grandma served in an animal laboratory for 30 years. Due to the particularity of her job, grandma had to dissect living animals for observation and experiments. Sometimes, she would take the laboratory animals home, which later became his father's childhood playmates. Hsu Che-Yu attempt to probe how the body/life is taken as a part of the body of knowledge relying on real bodies and models, thus further exploring the relationship between death and digital stimulation technology.
