About the Film
Synopsis
As the first snow descends on the province, a grief-stricken laborer spends her day harvesting oysters along the river bank. Wadding in waist-high water, she pushes through the meandering currents and reflects on the nature of her grief when she suddenly encounters an unknown yet familiar creature rising from the shallows. Her muses awash, she finds herself elsewhere, succumbing to a torrent of memories, imagination, and intimacy.
