Synopsis:

"Mirage" is a short dance film that delves into the imaginative world of a young dancer, Shiyu. As she prepares for a practice session in the changing room, she drifts into a daydream, where she finds herself wandering the vibrant city streets, dancing with joy and abandon.

In this whimsical daydream, Shiyu encounters mysterious directions and subtle reminders from a secret guiding hand, which leads her on a journey through the bustling city. As she loses herself in the dance and the cityscape, the secret hand's identity remains concealed.

In the climactic moment, Shiyu finally realizes that the secret hand guiding her throughout was none other than an embodiment of her own inner spirit. The film captures the transformative power of self-discovery and the boundless possibilities of imagination, all expressed through the language of dance. "Mirage" is a beautiful exploration of self-expression and the intimate connection between one's dreams and reality.
