A woman speaks only in voiceover and is never seen. She tells a story of sorrow and loss that took place during the Cultural Revolution in China. Her testimony is an unruly stream of thoughts and memories, constantly changing direction, just as informed by imagination as it is by reality, mirroring the dreamlike stream of images on screen. Which are the images that tell the story of a country? The ones we see or the ones we don’t?
