The Old Child

202116mMovie

Philosopher Zhuang Zi once dreamt he was a butterfly. This pleasant daydream tells this old story from a new perspective. Modern butterflies apparently dream in VR. Nature, technology and spirituality seamlessly meld when a monk and a child both embrace modern technology their own way.
