In 2018, scientists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully obtained Bimaternal and Bipaternal mice through the editing of imprinted genes, and for the first time in the world, mammalian Bipaternal reproduction was achieved. This film has tried to create an intertwined body of science and metaphysics. Switching between objective and subjective perspectives, it explores the possibilities of the beginnings of human as a mammal through interviews and ritual documentary, celebrating the revelatory capacities of science while inviting the viewer to consider the philosophical questions behind this technology.

2018年，中科院的科学家通过印记基因的编辑，成功得到了双母和双父的小鼠，并且全球首次实现了哺乳动物孤雄生殖。本片试图打造一个科学与形而上学交织的主体。影片在客观和主观视角之间切换，通过访谈和仪式行为纪录片探讨了人类作为哺乳动物起源的可能性。在赞美科学启示能力的同时，也邀请观众思考这一技术背后的哲学问题。
