The No-One’s-Rose 2024

Directed by Wendy WANG and Kirtan Hummelen · 15 min

Paul Celan, a poet who survived the Nazi Holocaust during World War II, ultimately met a tragic fate, taking his own life in the Seine River in 1970. More than half a century later, a young poet named K sits at her desk, engulfed in despair. Suddenly, she hears a rose humming. Responding to the rose’s call, she embarks on an extraordinary journey—moving between daily life and dream—to witness the destinies of poets who have fallen throughout history. A poet’s life may vanish, but poetry endlessly circulates, and a life beyond humanity continues to sing.
