In the future world constructed by data, young researcher Su Li teamed up with artificial intelligence "Guanbi" to interpret Dunhuang murals. They use the eyes of technology to penetrate thousands of years, from the compassion of "Nine-Colored Deer" to the universality of "The Transformation of the Lotus Sutra", from the salvation of "The Elder's Son" to the ecological metaphor of mountains, rivers and earth, every accurate data analysis leads to a deeper philosophical maze.
When the algorithm cannot calculate the weight of "trust", when the model cannot quantify the temperature of "compassion", Su Li uses artistic intuition and Buddhist wisdom to find the symbiosis between technology and humanities amidst the mottled murals and the confusion of AI. The five dialogues spanning time and space are not only the modern manifestation of the soul of the mural, but also the mutual redemption of human psyche and machine rationality in the long history of civilization.
