Synopsis: In a world where humanity has lost the ability to dream, one creature remains entranced by the fading illusions of the dreamworld. This monster, adrift in reverie, clings to visions no one else can see—until a woman appears. Gifted with the rare power to perceive these illusions for what they truly are, she chooses to enter the monster’s dreams, determined to uncover the truth that lies hidden within.

BI Gan: BI Gan is a contemporary Chinese filmmaker and poet, born in 1989 in Kaili, Guizhou. He is acclaimed for his distinctive style of neo-magic realism, as seen in his internationally celebrated films Kaili Blues (2015) and Long Day’s Journey Into Night (2018). His work delves into themes of memory, identity, and the human condition through non-linear narratives, extended long takes, and a poetic fusion of documentary, fiction, and surrealist elements. BI Gan’s visionary approach has drawn comparisons to auteurs such as Andrei Tarkovsky and Wong Kar-wai.
