永安镇故事集 YONG AN ZHEN GU SHI JI

Berlin Premiere

Ripples of Life is a movie about movies. Unfolding in three distinct chapters – "Waiting Alone," "Seemingly Beautiful," and "Pluto Moment" – each a nod to iconic Chinese films, the story centers on the creation of a highbrow film set in a secluded town. The arrival of the film crew sends ripples through the town's peaceable existence, but once the waves recede, serenity is restored. Ripples of Life stands as both a profound social commentary and a triumph of visionary filmmaking, flawlessly melding a conceptual narrative with cultural insight.
