FOUR JOURNEYS
Netherlands 2021 – Director: Louis Hothothot – Original language: Chinese – Subtitles: English – Length: 112 min.
A pervasive whisper runs through the soundtrack that is otherwise marked by harsh words. Words that do harm but finally bring to the surface what has been buried for so long. Deep-seated feelings of guilt – triggered by China’s one child policy and brought forth through four journeys – bring about an intense family portrait that gives cause for thought. Anna Magdalena Hofer
We present the German premiere of the film.
