Synopsis
The Clouds Are Two Thousand Meters Up, adapted from a story by WU Ming-yi, follows a man's search for healing after the loss of his wife. Guided by her unfinished novel, he enters a dreamlike journey through misty forests, hollowed trees, and the subconscious – a surreal path shaped by the myth of the clouded leopard and the sacred origins of the Rukai people.
