Contrasting visions of world cinema
CHINA | 180 minutes | 2019
Two couples work together in a factory, and each have an only son born on the same day. The two boys grow up as best friends, but a tragic event shatters one of the families. An ambitious, unforgettable story spanning four decades, this 13th feature by the Chinese filmmaker pays tribute to the lost generation that was forced to follow the one-child policy at the expense of personal fulfillment. A heartbreaking melodrama about dignity, with a novel perspective on the complexities of an endlessly fascinating country."A deeply moving, generations-spanning drama exploring the long-term effect of China's one-child policy on a small circle of friends." Variety
