香港的创作乐手Michael(吴彦祖)因故滞留北京,与一群真心热爱着摇滚乐的北漂青年相遇。他们有着自己的乐队,乐队主唱叫做平路(耿乐),队里还有个活泼反叛的领舞女孩儿杨颍(舒淇)。Michael被这群年轻人深深吸引着,他喜欢他们对音乐苦苦的执着精神,一路跟着他们到乡下走穴。然而,本土文化浓重的北京既可以深刻的诠释摇滚音乐,又可以高傲的把它视为粪土、垃圾。平路他们生活拮据,在音乐的路途上不断碰壁。唯一不变就是对音乐发自灵魂的热爱,如同那歌里一声声的诘问:“我想到光的深处,那里有风么……”边缘的生活方式,坚挺的灵魂,感动每个人的是歌声还有梦想……
SynopsisIn the Allegory of the Cave, Plato ponders: what would happen if one of the prisoners managed to free themselves from their chains and escape from the cave? What if that prisoner were Jay, a little 7-year-old boy?Director’s statementWhat lies behind the daily movement of a city? Last winter, we met in Paris and began discussing the Allegory of the Cave, as told in Plato’s Republic. The myth imagines humanity living in chains, facing the back of a cave, and watching shadows move on the walls, thinking it is reality. We both work with images, which certainly can be illusions, but can also become instruments of struggle and liberation of thought. So, from this discussion, we decided to create a short film. We had a few fixed ideas—the cave, the dance, the city bustling around us—and one question: what would happen if we all managed to turn together towards the exit of the cave? Perhaps it is not enough to assert that images are illusions as long as the chains that bind us are real.
