Cuizhen is a barber. As a foreigner, she is rejected by the locals. A serious illness ten years ago gave her "supernatural power" and became a possessed psychic. Over the years, the new gods in the village have changed to the old. Many people claim to be possessed psychics, to be the commander of all religions, and to establish the Western Paradise in the underworld. Cuizhen disagreed with these views.

Cuizhen's process of organizing a birthday memorial has been twists and turns, and her birthday has become a battle for the rights and status of psychics.

The artists then digitally subtracted the DVD frames from the scanned film frames, leaving an image that reveals the difference between the analog and digital formats. The result is 31 seconds of Dorothy's ruby slippers clicking together, over and over, the shoes, her legs, and her dress a shimmering beacon, an immortal moment of intense wishing.
