WANG Er

China2017 11min World Premiere

Synopsis

A dull man who lives abandoned life by his lover finds a refrigerator in his new house. It looked like a normal refrigerator, but it was a magic box that would give you a step upgrade if you put anything in it.

Program Note

A young man is about to unpack the boxes from his move to a new room, where there is a mysterious fridge. He soon discovers it is actually a magic lamp. Dumped by his girlfriend for a good-for-nothing lowlife, the young man tries to reverse his fortunes. The Fridge quickly softens the negativity of greed within its short running time, as well as pushing the message that people obsessed with material values are helpless under the law of nature.
