If middle-aged life is a form of cultivation, should one expect enlightenment, or should one slow their breath in the dark obscurity? Exemplary housewife Mrs. Yan continues to live a spiritual life amidst the trivial daily routine of grocery shopping, cooking, and taking the dog to the vet; Mr. Yan, bored at work and with nowhere to go after, leads a marriage life that is akin to a “cultivation”—distant and respectful. Until Mrs. Yan unexpectedly receives a phone call informing her that her husband’s brief affair from years ago has moved into a nursing home, the previously stagnant days begin to stir... The film "Cultivation" is adapted from writer Wang Dingguo's short story "Fairy." Director Qian Xiang reunites with Golden Horse Best Actress Chen Xiangqi, alongside Golden Horse Best Actor Chen Yiwen, portraying a couple with zero emotional warmth. The film explores the crisis of middle-aged marriage and the complex issues of life, using intricate and poetic visual language to dissect emotions and humanity. If a loveless marriage is a form of cultivation, should one hope for a response, or should one merely get by in silent days?
