[MUBI] There is a certain sense of defeat in the protagonist (Yin Liang's alter ego), whose last movie she shot five years ago. A pessimistic vision of the power of cinema as a political denunciation. Almost with a Zen pace, the story finds in the family reunion the only glimmer of hope, but following a certain formality ("it's the Chinese way of loving"). Separation becomes defense of emotions against controlling politics. Hope is an illusion.
