Wu Lang narrates a story of redemption and coming back, in his film Absence, in the Encounters section of Berlinale 73. He motivates his choices and his overlook on the human relationships and the interaction with man and nature and modernity, in this talk with Angelo Acerbi.

Absence: As Han Jiangyu focuses his attention on the dead fish and the lobsters slowly dying on the grill, he asks his childhood friend Kei if the animals have a soul. Kei’s business is booming. The island of Hainan, to which Jiangyu has returned after ten years in prison, has changed dramatically. It has become a flagship site of intensive housing construction – and therefore also a paradise for rip-offs and fraud. Jiangyu also meets his old love again. She now has a daughter. Could the girl be his?
