While resting on the shore where his grandfather had departed across the Pacific, the fisherman comes in contact with a ghost who still maintains fragmented memories of a Chinese migrant on Vancouver Island, who was also drafted during WWI from William Head on the island. While being possessed, the fisherman experiences hallucinations travelling to a distant land, searching for the ghost\u2019s traces from its scattered memories. The disorientation of sites and sounds in the film paints a fictional encounter of intergenerational memories on both sides of the Pacific, paying tribute to the migrant bodies afloat, interpellated in a charged past whose traumas and turmoils still linger eerily in the landscapes we reside today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<h3 style=\"font-size:clamp(18px, 1.125rem + ((1vw -
