影片借用一种伪科教片的形式，通过喋喋不休地描述一些场景来展开叙事，而这些不同的描述方式在不断的相互撕扯间被编织在一起。余果通过对羊角镇的田野考察并邀请他人共同写作，用看似对地质地表的描述把羊角镇的历史与现实串联起来，探讨当下的土地政策，文化打造以及乡村建设有关的现实。
This video essay “Rock and Cliff” investigates the creation of Horn Town, a new model village and center of large-scale tourism development, as well as local residents’ life displaced from the Three Gorges Dam. Horn Town is located in Wulong, a rural district near the Three Gorges Dam administered by the Chongqing municipality (a city of 30 million people). The film is narrated in the style of pseudo-educational documentary and local Chongqing dialect. Using geological and topographical perspectives, it studies different types of 'rocks' found in the area, from mythological stones to a cliff, from ruins of the original settlement to a stone sculpture of a dubious “Land Art Biennial”. It addresses issues of land acquisition, top-down governance approach and spatial politics.
