After wildfires force her to leave her home in Oregon, a young filmmaker reconnects with the rituals and the landscapes of her maternal tribe in Himalayan China. In a poetic and contemplative revisiting of her family and her ancestors’ history, director Shasha Li reflects on their animistic traditions while visiting her childhood hometown, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, transformed beyond recognition into a bustling tourist attraction. – Ruth Somalo
