新建村是上世纪50年代部队军人受国家号召从昌平搬迁到此建立起的,很多人已经在此生活了一辈子。一个生于此的50多岁的北京妇女在拆迁期间仍旧每天回来喂养自己收养的几十只流浪猫,但在拆迁的最后一天,她连一只猫都找不到了,便决定再也不回来了。 短片用大量静态影像,结合采访录音、现场采集的声音及场景音效制作细致地呈现了一个废墟空间.

In the 1950s, soldiers from Changping, north of Beijing, were ordered to build up Xin Jian, which lies to the city’s south. Their families stayed, and many of the people who until recently lived in Xin Jian had spent their whole lives there.One woman, now in old age, was born here in the 50s’. She had always fed the dozens of stray cats that lingered near her house, and wanted to take them with her in the move. But she couldn’t catch them. She returned every day while the demolition work was ongoing to feed the cats, until one day they stopped coming.The film uses photos, interviews, and sounds from the village to show a space full of ruins, where people, animals, and objects alike are homeless and lost, or have ceased to exist
