A poetry film made by a team after traveling thousands of miles for three years. The place where love exists is the nearest distance. Through a dreamlike, ethereal, and sincere call, it tells the story of a bamboo sea girl and a city beauty who meet by chance and find their souls in harmony, evoking tears and soul-awakening. Director Tong Nian relentlessly questions and pursues, traversing mountains and rivers, overcoming countless difficulties. Life is an intersection of endless storms and infinite scenery, walking together, letting the spirit of the weak grow strong and the strong embrace tenderness, opening the door to love and wisdom.
