Mirari

2013, Cantonese. Directed by Jerry Wong Chi Wai.

On winter solstice day, a tram arrives at the terminus, depositing the last passenger in an old neighbourhood. Roaming eerily empty streets among surroundings at once familiar and strange, the old woman has her mind firmly set on one task, prompting her panic-stricken son to abandon his work and speed to her side. Somewhere, sometime else, a young woman is frantically searching for her little boy. In a city that prides itself on overnight transformations and clearing out the old to make way for the new, the mother takes her son on a reverie where the past and the present, memories and realisations are immutably and inexorably mixed.
