Haipeng Xu

Dans une ville du sud de la Chine, durant les années 90, Chichi, une fillette de 9 ans, part vivre avec sa grand-mère, sa tante et sa cousine pendant que sa mère est hospitalisée. Témoin des luttes que mènent les femmes de sa famille, Chichi songe à sa propre trajectoire alors que se rapproche le moment où elle aussi deviendra une femme.

Just because she arrived three minutes earlier in the world, the elder sister of the twins was separated from the other, and was sent thousands of miles away from home. The elder sister (Chan) was forced to leave their hometown, and struggled for her life in Chengdu. The younger sister (Juan) stayed in their rural hometown and continued her routine life. However, two girls who looked exactly like each other actually pursued distinct paths in two entirely different cities. Their experiences of growing up as women developed in parallel.

Tell the story of two left behind children with vastly different personalities, facing the cruel truth of life together, and completing their own growth test before the topic of life and death.

Une perte soudaine cimente une relation inattendue entre deux migrants de la communauté chinoise du Queens. Loin de chez eux, et travaillant sans relâche pour subvenir à leurs besoins, ils font leur deuil ensemble dans l’espoir de trouver une famille.
