Plot
Set amidst stunning mountain scenery in Guangxi Province, southern China, this UK premiere of the first film to be shot in the Dong language, follows the life of 12 year old A Qiu. She aspires to be a writer and travel the world. Her parents are migrant workers in the city, but the death of her grandmother forces them to return to their home and the family rice paddy. The story evolves over the four seasons with sumptuous cinematography, punctuated by a beautiful score including traditional Dong music. Yet, it is equally a comment on contemporary youth in an increasingly modern and changing China.-- Pan-Asia Film Festival
