TRANS is a visual diary dedicated to Xianglin Sao. A fragmented self-narrative, it reflects the inner voices of the filmmaker and the world around them. The story transcends its ending—charting a journey through remembrance, grief, rage, love, and transformation. Life cycles through destruction and rebirth: becoming a tree, a seed, and then a tree again. Some parts of the film feature text in Jiangyong Nüshu.
