天堂的故事

Synopsis:                                                                      My mother dreamed that my late father came back home to see her. She strongly believes that it wasn't a dream.                                                                      Director’s Statement:                                                                      While I was in Japan for researching an Japanese avant-garde film last year I received the saddest phone call from my mother who told me that my father, who had been sick from liver cancer, had passed away peacefully. A few days before he died, I talked to him on the phone and he said, “I want my ashes to be scattered in the forest.”  I replied to him with my tear flows “You will be alright.”                                                                      I didn’t even go back for his funeral. I began shooting this film which I had only an image of ashes and a forest, hoping that this film can cure me of my pain.
