Panda

Along a run-down riverbank in a wintery Nanjing, a group of marginalized people lives in a district afflicted by decay. A poor poet who cures people with his verses, a young man trying to defy death, a wandering man looking for a dragon and a woman burdened by her trauma become the protagonists of a universe existing in between reality, dream and delusion. Through documentary and fictional images, the movie represents a poetic and surreal portrait of those invisible lives torn by pain, irony and humanity. A movie marked by expressive freedom, where everyday resistance turns into a silent form of rebellion.
