 Program Note
 When Xiaoyu’s father returns home, he resorts to all sorts of violence, calling her mother a ‘pig’. Her mother, who does not fight back her father’s habitual violence, is like a lifeless object in the house. Her mother possesses a special talent in hiding when she starts to feel the pain like Xiaoyu’s turtle which hides in the sand. One day, her turtle disappears, her father hurts his legs in a car accident and her mother finally leaves home. It is a work that thoroughly portrays a girl’s life which has been devastated by violence. Especially the shots taken from the perspective of a turtle, an objet d’art that does not function simply as an objet d’art, are effectively utilized in conveying the main character’s mentality.
