Description:

In the poetic drama Crosscurrent, Gao Chun, a young captain, steers his cargo boat up the majestic Yangtze river. Following the recent death of his father, Gao Chun carries the heavy spiritual burden of liberating his father’s soul according to traditional beliefs. As he navigates the misty waters, this physical journey transforms into a mystical quest. Along the banks of the river, Gao Chun is looking for a mysterious woman who appears to him at different ports, seemingly transcending time and space. Each encounter with her coincides with poems he finds in an old book left on his boat. As the cargo boat pushes further upstream, the boundaries between the past, present, reality, and memory begin to blur. Gao Chun must navigate not only the treacherous currents of the Yangtze river but also the deep waters of his own grief, love, and spiritual duty. This mesmerizing voyage offers a visual and emotional exploration of life, loss, and the eternal flow of time.
