A gossamer debut feature that compensates for its lo-fi look with glimpses of profound humanism.

Fang comes back to her parents’ home in Nanjing to spend some time with them. Around her, time goes by, memories come back in the conversations, some she knows, some not. The present is mixed up with the past, and the steps towards the future may walk along the path of eternal loss.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Worry and sadness are palpable, but so is wry humor and irony as Song ponders age and mortality with a sensitive eye for emotions and a strong sense of composition.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
A slight yet profound exploration of generational choices and our fear of living our parents’ lives.
Sweet and fiercely humane, Song’s layered family portrait is decidedly Buddhist: silent when it needs to be and steadfast about approaching inevitable tragedy with care and patience.
The Hollywood Reporter by Stephen Dalton
The pace is gently hypnotic and the topic fitfully interesting, but the format will test the patience of all but serious art-cinema fans with its narrow focus and chilly film-school minimalism.
