The 24-hour veterinary clinic is a window. Here we gaze at the animal's death and alive, the owner's hopes and despair, but also seem to peek at humans' selfishness and ruthlessness… ONCE THEY WERE HERE tells the fate of different animals at the choice of humans. Perhaps it is not pure love and random. The so-called equality of life is only reflected in the uninterrupted heartbeat.
