Story:

In a forgotten ancient capital of the Chu State in the south, water, fire, metal, wood and earth claim everything for themselves, and greed, anger, ignorance, doubt and arrogance flow among them. The Yangtze River, Buddhism, new cities, mysterious ways, ancient cities... and people's thoughts are spreading wantonly. The five elements are interdependent and eternal, and the five elements are mutually restrained and changeable. High buildings rise, and the mountains are gone in the distance. No matter where people are, they cannot escape the arrangement of fate. The happiness and pain of the past, the forgotten and the deep, will eventually become the past and dissipate in the wind.

Director‘s Statement:

Humans moved from forests to tribes and then to reinforced concrete. They like construction and destruction. They always look for the most favorable definition in the ruins, but they do not respect this definition. They continue to use some architectural wonders to show their own unique definition on the ruins. Destruction and reconstruction are repeated. Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and overseas religions are permeated with this definition. Of course, no matter what the definition is, the people of the ancient capital are accustomed to the drift of eternal time and space and the times. The whole film is mainly composed of three colors: turbid yellow, cold blue and warm red. The turbid yellow symbolizes turbidity and absurdity, the cold blue symbolizes coldness and reality, and the warm red symbolizes hope and tomorrow. The three colors permeate the surrealist flavor unique to the Jianghan Plain.
