This film is based on a text the director wrote, drawn from her own experience of living in China, Hong Kong, and Paris. The film explores imprisonment, walls (both tangible and those in our minds), people in exile, and the sharing of nightmares. "One can never escape the walls that confine us: those outside want to enter, those inside want to leave." She attempts to convey this feeling through recurring patterns and non-linear storytelling.
A man, trapped in a white sheet, struggles on a bed as if drowning in a nightmare. In front of a similar sheet, in an empty movie theater, a mother breastfeeds her baby, immersed in deep silence. A silent film tells the story of a cow, marked with the number “432,” who wanders on a beach desperately searching for her missing calf. When the cow finds the dead calf, marked by the number “433,” the film dies with it: the sheet on which the film is projected falls onto the stage, enveloping the entire room in an even deeper silence. The number “433” evokes John Cage's famous silence, but here silence takes on a tragic meaning, representing the stillness of death. The same fate befalls the man on the bed, the embodiment of life within the film, whose movements cease simultaneously at the end of the film.
