🎬 Title: White River / 燕交
Story: Set amidst the quarantine in Yanjiao, which lies just across the White River from Beijing, we meet Yang Fan. Her daily life consists of cooking, cleaning, and following the strict regulations. Meanwhile, her husband finds himself caught in a web of voyeurism and self-indulgence, with a classic painting of a woman in their bedroom playing a significant role. Although the couple shares intimate moments, things take a turn when Yang Fan begins an affair with a mysterious waiter from her favorite restaurant, who has an unusual habit of urinating under a tree after closing time. Instead of jealousy, the trio embarks on an unconventional journey that soon draws in others.
