China / 2025 / Fiction / 23’23”I2604134
Echoing the myth of Chen Jinggu in southern China—a goddess who sacrificed herself to protect women in childbirth—the film traces a woman’s pregnancy as it awakens limitless possibilities, surfacing in her dreams that blur memory and prophecy. She envisions an alternate birth of herself, an intimate bond with another woman, and her body’s resonance with nature. When her ex-husband reappears with a cancer diagnosis, reality fractures. Pregnancy becomes a realm where folklore and flesh collide, confronting her with cycles of creation, loss, and rebirth.
