Synopse

DOCUMENTARY A long-term study about family interrelations, the psychologcial effects of the one-child policy and the role of women in Chinese society. Over seven years, film-maker Wang Qiong accompanied her family with her camera and used conversations to shed light on their past. Her sister Jin was born in the 1990s – a time in which due to the one-child policy male offspring were favoured and girls aborted or abandoned. Jin too was left to her own devices in the street until her uncle took her in. With an unflinching but at the same time loving eye, the film dissects the history of a family and the traumatic legacy of a society.
