Storyline

After his father disappears, Ah Liang returns to a forgotten sandbar in Taipei, living in a dilapidated riverside house and working at a junkyard. Amidst a landscape where discarded gods crowd into temples, he encounters a mysterious woman in a red dress floating on the river, who may be the incarnation of a river eel. Director Chu Chun-teng’s debut feature, set in the restricted Shezidao area, uses surreal imagery to explore themes of desire, belonging, and the unpredictability of life.
