“The purest distillation of Kogonada’s consistent preoccupations: connections between lost souls, an existentialism both mournful and precious, seeing life as moments that continue to pass us by.”
—Brandon Yu, New York Times (Critic’s Pick)

In Hong Kong, a young violinist named Zi (Michelle Mao) struggles with her memory while enigmatic visions of her future self haunt her. She meets a stranger named Elle (Haley Lu Richardson), whom she recognizes from these visions. Together, they spend the day walking Hong Kong’s streets and are soon joined by Min (Jin Ha), a researcher at the local neurology center. As the day turns to night and night turns to dawn, Zi must reconcile the increasingly overlapping realities of her past, present, and future selves. The latest feature from Kogonada, the acclaimed director of AFTER YANG and COLUMBUS, ZI is a beguiling meditation on memory, time, and human connection.
