Drama

Cai is a mother and housewife who thought having a family was everything. When she inadvertently injures the grandmother of one of her teen daughter’s less privileged teammates, her supposedly perfect life descends into a menacing chaos and she starts to question everything about who she is and what she wants. 

Writer and director Qiu Yang follows a series of award-winning shorts with this intimate debut feature. Slipping mystery and miasma into an existential exploration of what happens when a woman, longing for something more, throws a wrecking ball into her world, he questions not only what is class and what is family, but what is self?––Simone Ling
