Paper Castle

Short Film - 5’32’’

The film's setting is an under-bridge paper castle located on the outskirts of Beijing, with the neighboring district of Yanjiao in Hebei Province, where many Beijing drifters reside, visible across the river. Jing Jing and her mother live in this makeshift dwelling and make ends meet by scavenging. At night, Jing Jing dreams of a castle, which in reality is an abandoned amusement park castle in Beijing.
