暑假,达娃回拉萨看望多年不见的姥爷和姥姥,正遇到姥爷病重、去世。在看护病人和料理丧事的过程中,姥姥益西卓玛给她讲述了自己曲折的一生,讲述了五十年来,她与三个男人的爱恨恩怨…… 益西卓玛老人一生的婚恋恩怨经历并不特别,在各民族、各时代的生活中常常都会遇到。但是,半个世纪以来西藏地区从农奴制到现代社会的巨大变迁,以及藏民族独特的宗教文化,对命运与轮回的信仰的人文精神,却使她的故事饱含了丰富、独特的审美价值。
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.
