Synopsis
Director Lou Ye and his crew reunite in Wuhan in January 2020 to complete a film started a decade earlier. When the first wave of Covid precipitates lockdown and fear, this story of revived artistic vision pivots to a thriller-paced account of the early spread of the virus — both the devastation and the deep connections borne of shared isolation. Using outtakes and on-set footage from RIVER and other films, and casting real actors from these films to play themselves, Lou creates an intense yet playful catharsis for filmmakers, artists, and, ultimately, all of us — a chance to revisit that time, and to heal.
