Director's Statement

My Dear Beloved, the same as our previous films, is a documentary film that pays attention to disabled people. The shooting was first started at the end of 2011. From a general point of view, these children attract worries and sympathies, but what we saw behind the camera were their sparkling eyes and beautiful minds.

​

To make a film to better understand the living situation of these children is a symbol of social progress, as well as the responsibility of us--documentary filmmakers. What we hope to achieve with this film is, through our observation, bring the audience to explore an unknown world with silence and darkness, but meanwhile full of imagination and surprises.
