Two journeys take place in two different periods. One is a return by rail, passing through two continents; the other is an old photograph tracing back to war life. The rhythmic swaying of the train merges past and present, revealing a forgotten memory, and a longing for a place called Taiwan.
In this dense and fragmentary short from Taiwanese director Huang Pang-chuan, we follow an evocative journey from Paris to Xiamen—and into history. Like the work of Chris Marker, the quiet reverberations of a journey, captured in grainy still images, invoke the magic potential of time travel.
