When the water rose, he hugged the bridge pillar and died” – (Warring States · Zhuang Zhou “Zhuangzi · Robber Zhi”) This short film tells that after the man died, his obsession with going to the appointment became a real person in the bardo world. In order to meet the woman he hid deep in his heart, they traveled through the bardo body stagnant in time to fulfill that a promise.
