I vividly remember senior year of my high-school: I was tasked to present the solutions to over population. I had come up with harsh suggestions: permanent contraceptive measures, extraterrestrial settlement and many more... What surprised my teacher which I didn't realize back then was the cruelest one: One Child Policy. Through mesmerizing acting and outstanding direction, this film artistically delivers the experience of losing a child and sorrows of incapability of bearing a child. Gut-punching yet soothing. This is what cinema is to me; this is what cinema has to be.
