Synopsis: PYTAGUA traces foreignness as a state of perpetual becoming. Taking its title from the Guaraní word meaning foreigner, stranger, alien, or non-native, the film moves through visible and invisible borders that define identity. As territories are crossed, both space and self are transformed, revealing identity as continually negotiated between belonging and displacement.
《PYTAGUA》將「異鄉狀態」追溯為一種永無止境的轉化歷程。影片片名取自瓜拉尼語（Guaraní），意為外國人、陌生人、異客或非本地人。影片穿梭於定義認同的形體與隱形邊界之間；隨著地域的跨越，空間與自我皆經歷了轉化，揭示了認同如何在歸屬與流離之間被持續協商與建構。
