In a fantastical realm where the sun is dying, the legendary archer Ho Yi vanishes on a desperate quest to restore its light. Consumed by worry, his lover and fairy maiden Chang Er, adventures to the moon's unexplored dark side to find him. Crossing paths with an earthbound bandit whose vessel crash-lands in her domain, the mismatched pair must navigate dreamlike topographies, ancient mythologies, and their conflicting desires in a race against cosmic darkness.

Directed by Nelson Yeo, this spellbinding Singaporean-Taiwanese co-production premiered in competition at Locarno Film Festival 2026. Blending folklore, surrealist imagery, and poignant intimacy, the film offers a visually poetic and hauntingly romantic reimagining of the classic Eastern mythology.
