The Sun Also Rises

A mad mother in a southern village obsessively builds a mysterious white stone house, her son listening to tales of flying dresses. Elsewhere, teacher Lin balances a clandestine affair with a colleague against the backdrop of her marriage. In the Gobi Desert, two women and a man hunt for a fabled 'road of bones,' their journey intersecting with a young man arriving at a camp during the Cultural Revolution. These four narratives, scattered across time and geography, interlock into a singular puzzle of love, madness, and revolution.
