It seems to be a very distant love story, the vast vineyards, the mist, the rays of the sun, a man running in the town and the melodious sound of the piano from the window in the middle of the night, the customs there, everything is like this Beautiful, so unreal. He is Paul, a soldier who was demobilized from the smoke-filled battlefield. His passing life made him know how to cherish the people around him. Days and nights when he left home, he kept writing to his wife, telling his thoughts and his need for someone to come. He shared with him the loneliness and sadness that came from facing the separation of life and death, but he never imagined that in the future it would be exchanged for his wife's indifference and betrayal. She is Victoria, a woman who was abandoned by her boyfriend who was out of wedlock. At the moment when her family reunites after the harvest in her hometown vineyard, she is standing on the side of the road thinking about her difficult situation - how to face the feudalism after returning home Conservative father is troubled. His encounter with her was like a destiny. The kind Paul agrees to temporarily pretend to be Victoria's husband and travel to her hometown, the vineyards that are always shrouded in a warm mist - the "Land of the Clouds". God is playing a cheerful tune and is leading them step by step into the journey of love. In "Cloud Township", the director used a lot of empty shots to show us the beautiful pastoral scenery, the trail in the sunset, the vineyard under the mist, and the peaceful village. The romantic atmosphere of the country is easily reminiscent of Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Land" or John Denver's "Country Road Take Me Home". Conservative and honest father, kind mother and grandmother, grandfather who loves chocolate, naughty younger brother, friendly manor servant... The harmonious atmosphere of "home" that the film tries to exaggerate not only touched Paul, but also touched us. What is "home"? It brings you warmth, it brings you courage, it shelters you and enables you to grow. It contains everything about you, so that you can feel the quietness of time and the quietness of time every night. In Paul's dreams, there are always scenes of orphanages and ruins, "I want to have a home", which is what Paul really needs. Longing for love and being loved, longing for a stable family life, so he has a longing for the land of clouds.
