Clouds in the Wind

Xing Song
China, 2025, 23 min.

In Chinese with English subtitles.

Upon returning to his hometown, Vincent reconnects with old friends, attends a wedding, and catches up with familiar faces from his past. These experiences lead him to reflect on the uncertainty and confusion that weigh on every drifting soul.

Director's Statement

Over the past year, I’ve faced unexpected losses and witnessed friends struggle with uncertainties. A childhood friend called to say goodbye before turning himself in for a desperate mistake, while another approached marriage with frustration rather than joy. Their experiences deeply moved me, highlighting the confusion many young people feel. Each visit home, I climb familiar mountains, now seeming desolate with time, reminding me of life’s vastness and uncertainty. These emotions inspired Clouds in the Wind.

Category: Short, Drama.
