Synopsis:
Film 1 – Fog over the summit… storm over the land
An amusement park was built in the fog on a mountain. The popular western mode of entertainment seems to integrate into the surrounding Asian landscape.
At the foot of the mountain, a farmer is working hard, trying to plow a small piece of land. On the land he works, there is a dilapidated house where a western painter sets up and uses as his working studio.
Although these two men do not understand each other’s language, a friendship is created between the farmer and the painter based on the mutual respect and the sharing of an emotional connection to nature.
One day, the farmer comes, he informs the painter of his father’s death. Of course, the man cannot assist the funeral, he shared his sadness with the farmer by painting the portrait of his father as a refection of the death.
Meanwhile the amusement park in the mountains continues to entertain the crowd in the fog…
Film 2 – Swallow an Angel
