Can love outlive death? Director Ningning's grandpa Zhao is an 85-year old man, who has faced not only extreme hardship during the second war but also the serious illness of his wife Lu that left her almost paralysed. Even though Zhao is a scientist, he believes that "love is a real kind of natural power" that can overcome any hardship, and he proves it. The film explores a unique world of the elderly who are deeply in love.

The Way We Wait

Desperately building against the inevitability of time, a restless young woman is awaiting another upcoming loss. But maybe more important things never seem to be told.

Elsewhere, a huge apartment made of sand is being constructed as the tide rolls in, while she belatedly tries to build a relationship with her Gran. As the camera sensitively observes how we wait for the upcoming days, the film embraces the fragility of life, full of uncertainty.
