Description

Description

A reunion across space and time in a cross-border funeral…
Looking back, the bygone is always the most beautiful.

Carrying with her a string of marital problems, 38-year old Hong Konger Tracy attends her great grandmother’s funeral in Macau. As soon as it is over, the relatives begin to fight over inheritance. The family home is empty, its occupants forever gone. Property developers are in a hurry to buy up the old house for a casino development. The beautiful times in the past flash back in front of her eyes.

“Development is the only hard imperative,” Deng Xiaoping once said. Like an enormous wheel, history carries on forward, grinding our most cherished memories from the past into fine dust, left to be blown away with the wind. In the inevitable transition from the old to the new, what could serve as an imprint of our past, to show that we once existed

All that we never gained, and all that is now history, are also what enchant us the most.
