Permanent Resident

The narrative centers on a middle-aged woman living in a flat near a quarry known as Little Guilin, which is inspired by a famous site in China. She engages in a peculiar ritual of pretending to be a prospective buyer of condominiums, visiting various homes and borrowing moments from the families living there.

As she observes the quarry from different windows, her fixation grows, leading her to embark on an excursion to explore it in person. This film presents a poignant look at longing and the impact of environment on personal connections, making it a thought-provoking addition to the drama genre.
