Short, Drama, Family, Romance |
Shanghai Strangers is about the dilemma of a young woman, Xiu Xiu, in post-Communist China, where the fast-growing material wealth and the spiritual void create a longing for a more authentic era when love was more difficult but also ultimately meaningful. A chance encounter, an unexpected discovery, a fateful afternoon, a song and a boat..., this film is my love haiku to Shanghai - a city where I was born and raised, an urban landscape that I most frequent in my dreams.
