Synopsis

In Chinese, ‘golden-age’ and ‘mirage’ share the same sound. On the 2024 Winter Solstice in Yiwu, China’s largest trading hub, single mother Yu considers closing her accessory shop and returning to her old opera job amid the 2024 economic decoupling. It’s a story of my mum, one day of her life.
An experimental cross-cultural moving-image work exploring memory, labour and urban transformation through long-take narrative and hybrid documentary aesthetics.
