SYNOPSIS:

​

共同祈求生存。

​Director's Statement:

This story is about abandoned people, abandoned community, abandoned lifestyle, abandoned rituals, and the entirety of the abandoned treated as trash. These beings are sacrificed in the modern society, who are incapable of walking away either staying along. But they pray with purest mind for the rain like in the fable. The scenes were taken from the Huaguang Community which had been laid flat nowadays. And the images will be living as ghosts that only exists in deep memory like smokes.

​

這個故事是關於被棄的人、被棄的社區、被棄的生活方式、被棄的祭典…， 一切「被棄」的總和，像垃圾一樣。這些既離不開、也無法留下的人與生靈， 在現代的社會中被犧牲了，無處可去。他們用最原始純粹的心祈雨，像是一則 寓言故事。全片取景的華光社區，現已被夷為平地，這些影像如幽魂般地存在 ，只剩絲縷留存記憶深處。
