Summer Film Mood: Two People Sharing Watermelon on Wooden Steps at Noon

Two people lie side by side on a corrugated metal roof looking at a sky fading from deep orange to dusk blue, the girl's hand between them with her little finger just touching his, the lights of a small town just coming on. Ends a day-long light story with a touch that barely happens. Image 7 of Zhao Yifan's set.

A boy stretches on tiptoe to pick ripe tomatoes from the vine while a girl crouches below shading the light with one hand as lookout, strong afternoon sun making the tomatoes glow red and his shirt sweat-soaked across the back. Writes afternoon heat through sweaty clothing. Image 3 of Zhao Yifan's set.

A girl stands at the edge of a stone bridge with her arms crossed and eyes squeezed shut, ready to jump, while a boy already in the water splashes and looks up at her, and noon sun turns the water into dazzling silver shards. Uses an action that has not yet happened to hold tension. Image 2 of Zhao Yifan's set.
