Jing Tu - Burning

Storyline

The photographer Yilin grew up in a country village; now she lives and works on her own in the city. Increasingly unhappy, she decides to return to her village. But not even in her childhood home does she find the serenity she longs for. On the contrary, she is forced to face up to painful childhood memories and come to terms once more with her mourning over her father’s death. The situation is made even more distressing after she meets a strange couple who live nearby: the mother keeps her child blindfolded and tied to a chair in the stall.
