Winner of the Short Film Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes, Story Chen’s beautiful, hypnotic work watches with strange wonder as the world ends in the aftermath of an asteroid.
An asteroid has collided with Earth and underwater volcanic eruptions are threatening to submerge a riverside town, whose inhabitants begin to head further inland. Preparing to leave, a young woman encounters a childhood friend and some of the town’s residents, and her memories come into clearer focus. A hypnotic look at the apocalypse, The Water Murmurs is haunting and unforgettable.
