Tao Gu / Canada, China / 2010 / Central European Premiere / 19 min.


synopsis

FilmGAP shows the filmmaker returning to his hometown, which has been hit by the largest earthquake in Chinese history; it is a visually moving personal look at the fragility of the landscape, the unsteady monumentality of mountains and towns, and the restless dreams of people who will never forget the tremors.
