In Fengjie, half-submerged by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, Han Sanming searches for his ex-wife and daughter, who disappeared 16 years ago, while Shen Hong searches for her husband. A true turning point in the filmmaker's career, filmed alongside Dong as its fictional counterpoint, Still Life forges a sweeping epic of solitude in a landscape doomed to disappear.
