A frigid winter on the Mongolian steppe, an untimely snowstorm aggravated the lives of a pregnant herder and her 8-year-old daughter: the missing flock of sheep, the unborn child, the absent husband, traces of wolves...... everything led the mother and daughter to places they’ve never been.

Once upon a time, there were stories in the landscapes. A mother’s quiet anxiety stretched across the winter plains of Inner Mongolia; a boy grew up in the windswept fishing villages of Taiwan; two scruffy children plotted their passage to adulthood in a withered cornfield; an artist-filmmaker captured the homesickness of the Burmese Chinese community on Huaxin Street, New Taipei; and a goldfish fable unfolded within the narrow, suffocating streets of Hong Kong. In these films, landscapes are more than mere cinematic settings; they are rich with symbolism and reflect the inner worlds of the characters.
