我妈妈的朋友

Tenderly tackled in this poetic film is the theme of new versus old - the dueling emotions, the ambitions of an adolescence to metamorphosize versus his very roots that tug at his heartstrings and stop him from flying high and away, a widowed mother's grief and hopelessness versus her muted acquiescence - all captured with rawness, humanism, and an understated elegance. #BJIFF @UME双井
