This intimate first-person documentary unfolds through the director’s gaze as a daughter attempts to enter her mother’s long-suppressed emotional world. The film traces the marital tensions, social expectations, and generational divides surrounding a successful middle-aged Chinese woman as she navigates intimacy, love, and the fragile process of self-reconciliation.
Through this deeply personal lens, the project examines shifting ideas of marriage and female identity across three generations—grandmother, mother, and daughter—revealing the profound social and cultural transformations that have shaped modern China.
