Chinese filmmaker Lou Ye (Summer Palace, Mystery) recalls the COVID lockdown in this powerful hybrid docufiction spun out of a nation’s collective trauma.
In 2019, filmmaker Mao Xiaorui and his team discover fascinating old footage from a project abandoned 10 years earlier. This unfinished work (reminiscent of Ye’s acclaimed Spring Fever) brings back nostalgic images of the past. Hoping to realise a project dear to him, Xiaorui reunites his original crew to complete it. But their efforts are disrupted by the onset of COVID-19 in Wuhan, forcing the group into lockdown.
