Xiang Zi : 2019
When the young student Li Jiumei meets her future husband Huang Tao, she is youthful and happy; her daughter Huang Xiaoyu has not yet been born and the secrets of the family are still hidden behind closed doors deep inside the house. Her daughter Huang Xiaoyu is already a young girl when creeping suspicion overcomes Li Jiumei. She kicks down a door behind which she catches her husband with a young man. Huang Xiaoyu is now pregnant and living in the USA; a little while later she returns to pay a visit with her boyfriend. She discovers that, in addition to bitterness and hatred, the teachings of an ominous sect have now also spread throughout the house. A complex family saga and tale of suppressed desire, with narrative strands unfolding simultaneously in different periods. Xiang Zi's directorial debut won the Teddy Awards Special Jury Award when it premiered in the Panorama section at Berlin International Film Festival 2019.
