During the outbreak of the plague, the island was in a post-war transitional period. Locals lived through the abrupt disaster through community mobilisation.

Years later, this work set out from the coast towards the hillside at the center of the island, searching along the way for the white clay from the locals' memory. Recounting the childhood experience of the springtime epidemic contained the uncertain identity of language. Guided by sound and image, the trip approached the places where other people had once arrived.

Soundtrack "Cibotium Taiwanianum Kuo" by Nick Tsai.

據歷史調查，瘟疫爆發時，島嶼處於戰後過渡時期，許多當地人透過社區動員面對突如其來的災難。

多年之後，帶著攝影機，從海濱出發前往島中央的山坡地，沿途尋找記憶中的白土。關於春天瘟疫的兒時經驗，夾帶不確定的語言同一性，和聲音影像互相帶領，逐漸逼近人們曾經抵達的地方。

聲音作品"Cibotium Taiwanianum Kuo"由Nick Tsai製作。
