The Good Woman of Sichuan

A young woman goes on an anonymous journey to her late husband's hometown Leshan in Sichuan province. There, she meets an old friend, a local theatre actress preparing for an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's The Good Person of Szechwan. Ghosted by Shen Te the protagonist of the play, the actress loses the self at the intersection of fiction and reality. Unprepared, the filmmaker loses control of her camera. Together, they drift into a polyrhythmic experience of stasis.
