Is there a place you keep wanting to go back to? When the home we remember drifts farther away, when those who raised us grow old, how do we live with the past, and how do we walk each other forward?

Yibin was raised by his grandparents. Now in their nineties, they live in a care home, but their hearts never left Pishi Lane, the alley where Yibin grew up. Following that longing, he draws close to them again, comes to know himself anew, and begins to learn how to say goodbye.

Woven from one family’s memories (real recordings, oral histories, old belongings, immersive encounters), the work builds a space you can walk through but never return to.
