Synopsis:
Between her and her, the unresolved questions send them on a quest for solutions. But they have no idea where they are going. One keeps asking; the other never has an answer. Is it here, or over there? Just like on the path of life, you can never know where you will be the next moment. And they have each other to face the fear and anxiety that comes with the unknown. They will find the answer in the end – this journey, this life, perhaps it is all just a dream. This dream only takes place in one instant – this moment.

Synopsis:
The work begins with footage from East Broadway Mall in New York’s Chinatown during the pandemic, where workers describe both their expectations regarding working conditions and the actual circumstances in a neighborhood that is gradually becoming more vacant and transforming daily. It then moves to footage from Beijing, captured around the time of the White Paper Protest – both before and after – including scenes of quarantine, family life, memorial sites of June 4th, and an underground queer party, ending with footage from Hong Kong: the cross-harbor tunnel, which references the siege of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, a wound that still remains open.
