Focusing on Hu Lu's personal experiences and gender feelings, She's in the Middle of the Water tells the story of the daily battle between women's awakening and patriarchal traditions. Hu Lu is full of ambition and dreams of becoming a doctor, but ends up working as an underground textile worker; Li Han enjoys the ordinary and has no ambition, but has to study for a doctorate. The movie reflects on the traditional concept of "man on the outside, woman on the inside". Hu Lu could be our mother, sister, or even every woman around us, and the movie shows how an ordinary woman like her can take the first difficult step to think about her marital relationship, her role in society, and her personal value.
In '95, a young nurse, Hu Lu, followed her husband, who was studying abroad, to New York to earn money in order to support his studies and support the family. In the end, however, she only found work sewing in an underground garment factory. Many of the garment workers are illegal immigrants, and Hu Lu secretly uses her medical knowledge to help them, as if she has recovered the dream of being a doctor that she was forced to give up, and found a little bit of joy in her foreign life. However, her "medical practice" attracts difficulties from the female supervisor, and her body is gradually overwhelmed by the burden of labor. However, Hu Lu discovers that her husband is hiding the fact that he has the opportunity to continue his doctoral studies, and that he only wants to go back to China as soon as possible to live a peaceful life. The couple had a big fight, and Hu Lu felt that she had sacrificed too much and had to be rewarded by her husband's achievements, and she pressed all her ambitions on him. However, when her body and mind were already close to their limits, a medical accident caused by her "medical practice" gradually pushed Hu Lu to the edge of collapse. ......
