Synopsis
In Yumen, a once-thriving oil town in northwest China, a wandering artist, restless youth, and a lonely woman navigate the remnants of their community. The film captures their search for human connection amid the town's decay. Shot entirely on 16mm film, it blends performance art with social realism. Through fragmented storytelling, Yumen presents a visual homage to a fading life-world, reflecting on the emotional and physical desolation of a place that has largely disappeared.
