The Trailer of "The Fallen Stone"
It's a personal and melancholy film, a requiem dedicated to European communism. Lu, a Chinese woman raised with communist ideals, is captivated by photographs of Yugoslav monuments, stirring a mysterious “loud bang” within her. To uncover its source, she embarks on a journey to visit these monuments and meets Stanko, a Serbian guide who lived through the Yugoslav era. Along the way, she witnesses the decay of the monuments, the abandonment of ideology, and the collapse of faith among communists like Stanko's father. The collective memory of China intertwines with Yugoslav history, prompting Lu to reflect on her own beliefs and the future fate of China.
