緬甸前首都仰光勃生堂鎮（Pazundaung），每年十一月的光明節，雪蓬屏佛寺（Shwe Phone Pwint Pagoda）舉辦黃袍紡織競賽。參賽的三十位女性編織者，必須在日落以前，以手工紡織機織出最好的金黃色布匹，在黎明破曉前製成袈裟獻給佛祖，以紀念釋迦牟尼的養母幻化夫人一天之內織出長袍給佛陀的傳說。此片為導演杜篤嫻的首部紀錄短片作品，簡潔明快的剪輯手法，鏡頭特寫編織者以無暇停歇的疲憊四肢，在人群的歡呼聲及現場傳統鼓樂的躁動下，奮力地操作著手工織布機。汗水交織著興奮與專注，只盼能先拔頭籌，以手中的精緻布匹奪得評審們的青睞，也讓虔誠的心靈獲得昇華。
Every year on a full moon night in November, thirty women gather at Shwe Phone Pwint Pagoda, in the Pazundaung district of Myanmar’s former capital Yangon, to take part in a competition known as "Matho Thingan." Their task is to weave the finest robes possible for the temple’s Buddha statues. Cheered on by large crowds and an orchestra of pulsating drums and high-pitched oboes, these teams of dedicated female competitors work the handlooms back and forth in a frenzy, achieving a feat that harkens back to Buddha’s own foster mother, Gautami, who is said to have woven her son a robe in a single day.
