AKA Still Life
In a small village which is being prepared to be flooded two people come searching for those they've lost contact with. The first a man looks for his wife and child who he hasn't seen in 16 years. He must wait whilst there before her brother allows him to speak to her, he takes a temporary job demolishing the evacuated buildings.
The second tale follows a woman who searches for her husband after two years of lost contact. Whilst the two protagonists never cross paths they are connected through several sub characters.
Advertised to me as a documentary, this is anything but. Still I thought it was a wonderful movie which continues to feed my interest in Chinese cinema.
