Lin Wan, an embroiderer from Jiangnan, has inherited the secret skill of "spiritual embroidery" and can use needle and thread to modify the memories of others, at the cost of accelerating her own forgetfulness. In order to delay her grandmother's Alzheimer's disease, she cut out memories and embroidered them into her mind until her right eye became blind and her body became transparent and on the verge of death. Commissioned by scientist Shen Yubai, who appeared with a fragment of a blood-stained tapestry from 1943, it reveals the closed loop of redemption across time and space for three generations of women - grandma Su Huaijin's wartime blood-embroidered secrets, her mother's mysterious death in fire, and Lin Wan's self-sacrifice, which collided with an ethical black hole in the "Seven-Day Countdown". When memory becomes tradable thread, is modifying the past equivalent to murdering the future?
Purpose: Intangible inheritance
