Anti-Gone俺抬杠?!
7:30PM
In a Northern Chinese village in the 1980s, on the final day of a three-day burial ceremony, the mourning hall becomes a battleground.
Polynikes, the eldest son of the Oedipus family, lies in his casket, but his spirit lingers in the human world. His late brother Eteocles waits to escrot him into the afterlife. Meanwhile, their surviving sisters are at odds. Antigone refuses to honor the brother she despises, and Ismene tries to keep her from causing more trouble. At the same time. Polynikes’ young children attempt to force their way into the adult world with their own childishly almighty will.
What should have been a solemn funeral spirals into chaos.
As incense burns and tempers ignite, class struggles rage beyond the grave, coffins talk back, and ghosts settle old scores. Welcome to the ultimate family feud—where the dead won’t stay silent, and the living refuse to let go.
