The theme of this film is emotional blackmail and it describes a story about a pair of elves living in forest cabin share a long-lasting friendship.

創作理念Concept

故事主要呈現情緒勒索所帶來的恐懼與窒息感。以精靈作為主角，描述角色互動歷程中所發生的事情，而不侷限角色之間的關係，希望觀眾藉由故事自行套入自身經驗並自我覺察。故事中融入面對情緒勒索的溝通方式，但現實生活中並非所有關係都能夠和解，所以本片希望透過故事與觀眾產生共鳴，儘管是一點點的勇氣或改變都可能讓現況有所變化，或達到療癒的歷程。

The storyline mainly depicts the fear and suffocation during an abusive relationship from emotional blackmail. With adopting the elves as neutral characters, what happened during the interaction between characters can be clearly described without the restriction from the relationships between them. By doing so, audience could further input their own experiences into the plot and gain better self-awareness. The story incorporates how to communicate when faced with emotional blackmail, but not all relationships can be reconciled in real life, so this film hopes to resonate with the audience through the story, although a little courage or change may become different, or reach the healing process.
