A FILM

Synopsis:

Living the Land, which won director Huo Meng the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, is a realistic, elegant and touching family drama set in a poor village in central China in the early 1990s. It depicts the unique troubles of four generations of the Li family, centered around the funerals of two grandmothers. It explores the concepts of aging, death, future and time through the eyes of a child left with relatives in the village while his parents go to work in the industrialized big city. At the same time, it focuses on the suffering of a young woman under the pressure of the state, which considers female sexuality only as a means of reproduction, and the family, which sees marriage as an economic necessity.
