People Mountain People Sea

Carbon-based life is the result of temporary balance of the universe and this kind of balance becomes the foundation of the body and the wisdom of human being. This film interprets the balance in two ways with the creatures in the ancient Chinese book called ‘The Classic of Mountains and Seas’. One is the dynamic equilibrium of the Five Elements in Taoism, namely Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. The other are the three sets of balance between disease and health, war and peace, rationality and emotion (spirit and flesh).
