Director's statement
GU Long, a famous writer of kungfu novels in China, said one of the most powerful weapons is a smile. Children’s smiles are pure and irresistible, and Annie’s smile is especially pure because of her father’s love and the sweetness of his candy in the human world. As an adult, Annie’s father faces pressures like store rent and raising Annie, but he has natural compassion. Lulu, a devil without any emotion, is deeply impressed by Annie’s smile. When he kills Annie’s father and sees her crying, Lulu feels regret for the first time.
