About This Movie

Journey to The East is a fascinating exploration of memory and identity wrapped in a fantasy narrative. The story centers on the Donghai Dragon Girl, stripped of her memories and transformed into a fish. It’s intriguing how her past slowly unfolds through her encounters with Han Xiangzi, who has this deep, mysterious connection to her.
