Artist and filmmaker Tianyi Zheng returns to her ancestral village in Huangpi, Wuhan, the purported hometown of Mulan, the legendary figure known for fighting battles while disguised as a male warrior. Intimate conversations with relatives and local residents lead Zheng to trace how Mulan has been remembered or forgotten in everyday life, and her image transformed into a powerful tourism brand. Walking through tourist sites and abandoned ruins, she questions the gap between lived memory and official narrative. Things take a radical turn when performance artist Qiaochu Guo arrives, and the film begins to contemplate Mulan through a queer lens. With documentary and performative elements, Where Comes Mulan intertwines the spectral and the personal, excavating cultural mythology while offering a deeply personal reflection on displacement, queerness, and identity.
