If midlife is a journey of cultivation, should one expect enlightenment or slow their breath in the blind darkness? Model housewife Mrs. Yan continues to live a spiritually enriching life in her trivial daily routines of grocery shopping, cooking, and taking the dog to the vet; Mr. Yan, who finds work dull and has no place to go after hours, lives a marriage marked by a respectful distance, day after day, resembling a form of “cultivation.” Until Mrs. Yan unexpectedly receives a phone call, learning that the object of her husband's brief affair years ago has moved into a nursing home, their previously static days begin to stir... The film "Cultivation" is adapted from writer Wang Dingguo's short story "Fairy." Director Qian Xiang collaborates again with Golden Horse Best Actress Chen Xiangqi and Golden Horse Best Actor Chen Yiwen to portray a couple with a zero-temperature relationship. The film explores the crisis of midlife marriage and the complex issues of life, using delicate 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 merely pass through silent days?
