WHAT IF, is a very personal story for me, because it\u2019s based on a personal experience. I was initially inspired by the personal revelation that there always exists a hidden timeline dictating when the ‘right’ moment for a woman to become a mother is. It is a personal exploration of self-acceptance, reconciliation with my family, and love. <\/p>\n
With more and more films bringing attention to abortion, there are barely any movies talking about women\u2019s reproductive health and how it affects their physical and mental
\nhealth. I would like to introduce how fertility affects a woman\u2019s life and those around her from a different perspective with WHAT IF.<\/p>\n
With this film, I want to thank my mother, who might not understand but is always there for me. And I want to send my love to all the women, who understand what it\u2019s like to suffer from the pain and the fear.<\/p>\n","time":"18min","year":"2023","color":"Color","category":"Short","language":"","country":"China","resolution":"","award-bg":false,"gallery":[{"ID":74875,"id":74875,"title":"1_6M","filename":"1_6M.jpg","filesize":5971303,"url":"https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1_6M.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.firstfilm.org.cn\/en\/movies-en\/film-library-en\/what-if\/attachment\/1_6m-2\/","alt":"","author":"69","description":"","caption":"","name":"1_6m-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":75895,"date":"2024-06-25
