该片以甘肃第一个女共产党员秦仪贞和陇原第一批其他共产党员为主要生活原型，脱离真人真事的限制，通过艺术虚构，形象地再现了大革命时期轰轰烈烈的革命风潮，展现了早期共产党员靠着九死不悔的信仰，靠着为黎民百姓谋利益的初心，为了拯救苦难中的中国和苦难中的百姓，抛家舍命，上下求索，赴汤蹈火在所不辞的可歌可泣的光辉革命风采。
Facing a long winter of lockdown and combating a bad case of writer’s block, filmmaker Eric agrees to get a dog with his girlfriend Allie. A modern couple – vegan, ethical, millennial, neurotic – much research and negotiation leads to the arrival of Milly, a rescue from the Dominican Republic. This sets off a riotous chain of new challenges on how to best deal with this addition to the household. As Eric contends with a sinister dog-training programme, his introspection spills out onto his film work, with poor Allie and Milly taken along for the ride. The couple each pursue their own deepheld individual questions surrounding trust, purpose and roots, while wrestling with the idea of what it means to be a modern family. Milly, in the meantime, has a lot on her paws with these two! Part rom-com, part rescue-dog story, part autofiction, part self-indictment, part family scrapbook, this debut feature was made with remarkable economy and displays a disquieting amount of (often hilarious) emotional authenticity. Filmmaker Ben Petrie and creative collaborator Grace Glowicki play the young couple and in doing so, capture nothing less than what it means to be human.
