40th Festival International du Films de Fribourg

Torn by guilt and condemned to a life without love, the protagonist searches for new light and hope. Can this succeed when the weight of an irreversible past crushes the couple, who seem destined to perish in a merciless society? With its restrained cinematography, this film aptly captures the depth of life’s inextricable paths in contemporary China. And so, in an unexpected way, ‘the sun rises on us all’.
