China / 2025 / Fiction / 22’52”I2605787
In the summer of 2008, as China basks in Olympic glory, Xi, a domestic worker, remains haunted by the trauma of the Wenchuan earthquake. After learning of her late sister’s reincarnation, she becomes drawn to her employer’s unborn child, convinced it is her sister. As her obsession grows, the quiet household turns uneasy—a queer tale of suspended grief, dislocated female desire, and quiet resistance beneath national celebration, rendered through formal experimentation and media reflexivity.
