In a world where humanity has given up dreaming in exchange for eternal life, a young nameless man embarks on a fantastical odyssey through time and space to save dreams from oblivion.

With his third film, exceptional director Bi Gan (A Long Day's Journey into Night) has created a visually stunning work of intoxicating fantasy, the likes of which cinema rarely dares to attempt—a sensory journey through the deepest longings of the human condition, whose images linger long after the credits roll. Bi Gan is obsessed with cinema, just as his protagonist is obsessed with dreaming, and was awarded the Special Jury Prize for Resurrection at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

A beautiful dream ride through the 20th century and the history of cinema. – Screen Slate
