In an urban landscape where modernization rapidly replaces history, renowned Chinese director Jia Zhangke explores the human impact of change in his documentary-style film. The story unfolds at a century-old state-run aeronautics munitions factory in Chengdu, China, which is set to be demolished for a luxurious apartment complex. Through carefully crafted interviews with individuals connected to the factory, the audience gains intimate insights into their lives and experiences within this industrial backdrop. Each person's story unravels a unique perspective on work, nostalgia, and adaptation in the face of inevitable progress. The film masterfully weaves these personal narratives into an evocative tapestry that captures the essence of change, loss, and resilience in contemporary urban China.
