The film was shot in the desolate lands of Tibet. The camera shows piles of urban waste and animal carcasses scattered across the steppe, an arid and austere landscape
With the stance of a collector, Zhang Huan moves between waste and death, placing the body in a sort of surreal stream of consciousness. The work is not limited to reality, but rather evokes the soul's final glow before dissolution: in the journey towards reincarnation, the sun and the light of distant lands intertwine, the gaze of birds of prey dominates the expanses, and time and ruins transform into a sort of symbolic celestial funeral. With a sober and minimal visual language, the film intertwines desert, ruins, and cosmic echoes, bringing out, in a poetic silence, the brevity, impermanence, and possibility of life's rebirth.
