Two Mountains Weighing Down My Chest

Viv, an aspiring artist from China, finds herself stranded in Berlin after the pandemic and unexpectedly drawn into the city’s alternative cultural scene. Moving between unfamiliar environments and traditional expectations, she navigates shifting perceptions of herself, the world, and China, only to feel increasingly disoriented. Through a series of eclectic encounters and subtle social frictions, the film traces her search for belonging. Told with humor and intimacy, it offers a sharp reflection on identity, displacement, and how displacement shapes and unsettle our sense of self.
