Still Life

In the bustling town of Fengjie county, a melancholic transformation is underway as the government undertakes the massive project of building the Three Gorges Dam. This ambitious development inevitably requires the demolition and flooding of several towns, including this one, leaving behind a haunting sight of memories swallowed by water. Amidst the disruption and chaos, a man and woman set foot into the town, each harboring a personal mission to locate their estranged spouses before the final wave.As they navigate through the deserted streets, they bear witness to an unfolding narrative of societal change and loss - the eradication of homes, traditions, and identities. This heart-rending tale intertwines themes of love, separation, and the human spirit's resilience amidst adversity. The town becomes a symbol of the transitory nature of life, where past and present collide in an intricate dance as it vanishes beneath the encroaching waters.
