Logline
Game of Replacing of Gods explores the death care industry in Taiwan, specifically the culture of “Zizha”—a craft mainly used as paper offerings in Taoist traditions. Through the repetitive process from making paper houses to burning them, the film seeks to contemplate the very nature of life and death.
