Inspired by a Confucius tale, Three Seasons is a short narrative film about an awkward family reunion. In the frozen season of Cloudville, half-frozen Elliot welcomes a visit from his estranged Piyan cousin Freya who is also his foster sister. The two biologically related young adults struggles to connect as kins, but their cultural difference and complicated family past from the parents’ generation never ceased to shadow their mind, making it harder for them to form an emotional tie. As they move forward, they question and recognize the essence of kinship and family.
