Plot Core: A Gunshot That Tears Apart Destiny

Lin Xiang (played by Bokeh Kosang) and Lin Zheng (played by Umin Boya) are brothers whose lives diverge due to an accidental gun discharge during a hunting trip with their father when they were young:
Lin Zheng: Imprisoned for his actions, he returns to his hometown after serving his sentence, only to confront the disintegration of traditional tribal values and is forced to seek meaning in a commercialized mountain landscape.
Lin Xiang: Becomes a tribal doctor, living an outwardly stable life while harboring guilt towards his brother, which he must confront upon Lin Zheng's return.
The two brothers return to the site of the accident, searching for redemption amidst the fractures between modernity and tradition.

Cultural Issues: The Eternal Dialectic of Hunting and Morality

Ecological Conflict: After the disappearance of the forest, tribal youth turn to tourism, while traditional hunting skills are reduced to mere performances, igniting a tug-of-war between "cultural preservation" and "survival realities."
Crime and Punishment: How does the shadow of the shooting incident affect the trust between the brothers? The director uses the metaphor of "wild boar/hunter" to explore the fluidity of identities between perpetrators and victims.

Film Festival and Anticipation: A New Milestone in Taiwanese Indigenous Cinema

The trailer's long shot of "brothers confronting each other on an abandoned forest path" has sparked discussions, with online viewers commenting, "What drifts in the mountain mist is not just fog, but also uncleanable blood and tears."
