SYNOPSIS

the protagonist's obsession, the self under current real-world conditions, and the transcendent self that will make future choices. Under the premise of blurring narrative lines and character definitions, the film attempts to use some surreal segments and long-take shots to construct the entire piece. Through the protagonist's self-harmonization and transformation of his mindset, it conveys the core concept of "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Dao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name," thus building a space about fate and telling a story about the Dao.
