SYNOPSIS

[EN] In a quiet, desolate forest, an elderly man named Old Wang stops by the riverside to rest, just as he does every day. But as a thick fog begins to rise, two ghostly figures from folklore—Black and White Impermanence—appear, softly calling his name. Before calmly accepting his death, Old Wang asks where the dead are meant to go. In response, the two spirits gently guide him across the great river of his life, retracing the steps of the journey he once lived.
