Overview
"Perfect Life is a short film which talk about that in the near future, with the explosive development of technology, an experiment that allows pregnant parents to perform experiential simulation of their children‘s life is created. In the short film, Xiao Mei's parents simulated and experienced Xiao Mei's future life for three times. In common views, Xiao Mei‘s three lives were all failures. As a traditional Chinese parent, Xiao Mei's father could not stand the imperfect life of his child. Therefore, he proposed the decision of abortion. However, the mother insisted on giving birth to Xiao Mei. In her opinion, Xiao Mei has the freedom to have her own life, for good or bad." -- Abstract
