When Winter Calls for My Hand

In the frozen city of Harbin, Zhang Weihong—China’s only recognised intangible cultural heritage inheritor of ice sculpture—has quietly devoted himself to this art for 40 years.

Now, with his sudden rise to fame, the question arises: will he be swept up by the spotlight, or will he stay true to his lifelong pursuit of ice carving? This film explores impermanence, memory and the fragile yet radiant brilliance of life itself.
