Past Run
The Breaking Ice
In cold wintry Yanji, a city on China's northern border, young urbanite Haofeng, visiting from Shanghai, feels lost and adrift. By chance, he goes on a tour led by Nana, a charming tour guide who instantly fascinates him. She introduces him to Xiao, a personable but frustrated restaurant worker. The three bond quickly over a drunken weekend. Confronting their individual traumas, their frozen desires slowly thaw as they seek to liberate themselves from an icy world.

“Raw and lingeringly sensitive…sticks with you because it doesn’t lead its characters out of the maze, it just melts down the walls between them.”
— David Ehrlich, Indiwire
