An aftershock caused by an earthquake twelve years ago made a time-space connection between the young Xiao Li and his childhood. At a class reunion many years later, Xiao Li met Song Qian, a girl who had a crush on him. The secret of his father's disappearance and the memory of an accident caused by a game of hide-and-seek were gradually evoked. In the flowing river, Xiao Li gradually approached the truth in his heart and resisted the oblivion from the present.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting meditation on how the past refuses to stay buried, where time itself becomes a character pulling a man back through decades to confront what he's forgotten. The film unfolds like a fever dream, braiding childhood trauma with present-day reckoning in a way that feels both intimate and impossible.
