我在家中渐渐消失

李蔚然在十年前离开北京前往国外学习艺术，当她在圣诞假期期间回家探望家人时，却出乎意料地产生了如外人般的疏离感受——文化差异让她与家人和前男友之间的沟通出现了重重困难。李蔚然身处异乡时对故土的思念和重返家庭的不适让她产生了强烈的撕裂感。虽然幽默的片段常常不经意地出现，但导演在短片中却展示了这样一个失去“根基”的痛苦过程。

Thirty-year-old Viv Li is studying art in Belgium and hasn’t lived in her native China for ten years. During the Christmas holidays, she pays a nine-day visit to her family in Beijing, where it soon becomes clear how uprooted she has become by her life abroad. Losing your roots is a painful process, Li shows, though it has its humorous moments. In brief, this wistful but witty account of a trip to Beijing portrays the discomfort of the bird that has flown returns to the nest.
