About the Film

A businessman from Qingdao, originally from the Northeast, longs to return home. His daughter refuses to leave Qingdao and wants to escape him. Her boyfriend is obsessed with finding a childhood nursery rhyme. Their unfinished gestures reveal a fear of completion, as if turbulent emotions were trapped beneath a thin and deceptive layer of ice. The story echoes the saying: the river flows, but the stone remains unmoved.
