The Age of Silence

Directed by

Fred Li

One and a half years after the pandemic, the urban economy slowly recovers. A single mother works two jobs and pins all her hopes on her daughter, whose life is suffocated under constant strict control. One day, a boy with a DV camera steps into her isolated world. Seizing a chance when her mother is away, the girl sneaks out. Long-simmering tensions erupt violently after she returns home. Within the same small town, an elderly couple leads a quiet life yet keeps searching for another way to live. In this wordless era, there are no central characters. Everyone drifts through time as ordinary wanderers.
