The protection and escape, tradition and innovation, memory and forgetting of an ancient town explore the survival and evolution of local culture in the process of modernization.
"City in the Dust" is based on the life background of those born in the 60s, 70s and 80s, and tells the dilemma of contemporary people's lives. A city can hold the lights of thousands of families, and it can also hold the dust of the people. Some people crush the neon lights and run for an obsession, some people wrap up in fireworks to keep stability for half their lives, some people lose their way through ups and downs, and some people hold on to the glimmer of light in the dust. The years turn into waves, and life settles into dust and smoke. In the morning and dusk of this city, we part and stick to each other. After years of baptism, we look back and realize that all the tossings and rushes are just to encounter the warmth of the world that belongs to us when the dust and smoke dissipates. It describes the joys and sorrows of a city, the ups and downs of half a life, and hides the warmth and tenderness hidden in the fireworks of every ordinary person.
Concept: Listen to the chirping of cicadas by the stream and freeze the old appearance of your hometown.
