SNAKE IN THE DREAMSCAPES

Spanning across 75 years, three dreams link the fates of two souls and intertwine with three murders. Who are the murderers? Is there true evil?

Lian, once active in Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement, now lives in Taiwan with her mother, Yahon. While researching her grandmother Paochu’s past in a Communist guerrilla, she stumbles into the murder of a Vietnamese logger. The story stretches back: in 1989, Yahon’s colleague Xian confesses to being a secret police informant before dying under suspicious circumstances. In 1951, Paochu’s lover led a guerrilla ruled by fear, while Kun, secretly in love with her, executed suspected traitors—until his death left his sister Biyu exploited and bearing Xian. Spanning three generations, the film interrogates history, betrayal, and the shifting lines of justice.
