Summer Film Mood: Ice Cream at a Shop Door With Light and Shade Across Faces

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 bites into a big slice of watermelon, juice dripping on her wrist and soaking her white collar, while a boy pretends to be reluctant but gnaws his own half, hard overhead light bleaching the ground. Shows how a reluctant little gesture adds drama to a relationship. Image 1 of Zhao Yifan's Summer Film Mood set.
