EUNUCH ()

Overview

SiRen follows a socially withdrawn man in his late twenties, born with no genitals, whose life has been shaped by repression, imitation, and silence. During a road trip through northern China, SiRen reunites with Squad Leader, a former class leader from their behavior correction school days. Once admired, Squad Leader now clings to exaggerated memories of authority, masking his fragility with aggressive performativity. He is accompanied by his girlfriend, an ambitious yet insecure art student whose pursuit of “truth” is entangled with self-surveillance and desire. As the journey progresses, the trio becomes locked in a shifting structure of power, humiliation, and projection. Through fragmented memories of correction school, a history of manipulation and betrayal resurfaces. In the isolation of the landscape, their constructed identities begin to collapse. What emerges is a quiet but devastating eruption of violence.
