The gullible intern waits for tea, imagined by Feng.

 

Toward the end of her time in America, Feng finishes by going to the South to re-shoot Bobby's first scene from the film without the rest of her crew. They've given up on this project — a waste of time, they say.

She’s surprised when she lands in Memphis - Trump’s America feels shattered in a different way than she remembered. Feng considers that maybe she’s losing her mind. She doesn't have any clue what she's doing - what's the point of it all? - especially at the end of this shoot.

 

The hungover traveler wakes up early, imagined by Feng.

Feng tells Bobby she’s re-shooting his scene because it was never true. Bobby tells her that he believes in an old proverb that explains that people are like mirrors - each person learns themselves by catching glimpses of other people. Belief in this philosophy can give her mystical power, he says, to communicate with a world beyond ours.

A wild energy fills her as she parties and films in the exact same bar that her mother snapped Bobby’s photo some 35 years ago.
