Story:
Early in the morning, the priest read in the church at the disabled orphanage. At dawn, the villagers entered the funeral ceremony during the prayer ceremony. In disabled orphanages, there are babies in the youngest children. Two children attending school together did not attend the class normally. More children with reduced mobility can only be dazed and crawl on the ground. But they are also God's people and attend worship services in the church. The autumn mist was hazy, and a new cathedral was being built in the village. Insects, kittens, puppies, orphans, villagers who worship, all life is safe. At night, the tired priest went to sleep after finishing writing. In his dream, he reached a graveyard and remained silent with his dying mother. Seasons are changing, rainy days, winter snow, orphans wear thick winter clothes, making movement more difficult. The cathedral was built, and people celebrated the biggest Christmas day of the year. Orphans also participated in the festival. As time goes by, the orphans have grown up, and they have dinner together as if they are praying for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Director‘s Statement:
In the past five years, from 2012 to 2017, every time I visited the Yongnian Disabled Orphanage in Hebei Province, I was deeply touched by the living conditions of disabled children and the faith-filled life in the Catholic area. If disabled children do not get the care of society, they will face death at any time, and their living conditions should be improved. In our atheistic country, a life of faith is very strange to many people, and our society should have the most basic understanding and tolerance of this life. In the film, I focus on the ritual of death and belief, deviate from the traditional narrative, use the lens to capture the expressions and inner details of the characters, follow the poetic and psychological logic, and achieve some kind of symbolic existence between man and nature from the language of images Moral.
