Synopsis

This is a collaboration between Chinese artist Li Ning and Norwegian artist Erikk (now living in the Netherlands). The theme is about sand, time, civilization, differences between East and West, and the cycle of life. Two human bodies with amnesia, maybe they were alien astronauts? Did they fall on Earth? How do they survive? Where do they go? The distant history may be the present? The magnificent scenery may be just an illusion? The director is the same as us, facing these same confusions.
