Light Pillar

A once-thriving film studio faces bankruptcy. The enormous compound, with structures ranging from the Great Sphinx of Giza to the Forbidden City, is now completely covered in snow, stripped of its former glory.

Zha, a lonely janitor, tends to this forgotten place, with only a former cat actor for company.
Running out of money, the studio owner gives him a VR headset as compensation. Zha is immediately drawn into the virtual world and embarks on a romantic journey with a female player. After a few dates, she invites him on a trip to the Moon.

Zha works extra hours to pay for his share of the travel expenses, but when he arrives at the travel center, he finds out that his ticket is invalid...

Just as the studio town is about to close, a film crew arrives to shoot an alien invasion movie, with the final showdown filmed as the studio’s actual destruction.

On the day of filming, Zha decides to stay behind and disappear with his world.
