"When I first heard the sound of this Chinese poem, it made my skin shiver, i found myself connected to it without knowing why. What was hidden behind these foreign words?” A poetic-ethnographic exploration, utilizing the non-linear structure to track down the manifold historical, cultural and poetical relations and assciations of an old Chinese poem: "I was thinking of how each of the symbols seemed to be a story in itself, and from there on, I started a journey from the smallest details of the poem to the roots of its characters, crossing a bridge from one language to another."
