Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for both the Queer Palm and the Caméra d’Or for best first feature film, Zihan Geng’s directorial feature debut is an aching summer love story. Hung on an incandescent central turn by Zhou Meijun (Angels Wear White), she plays shy 15-year-old Liu Xian, who is sent to live with her father when her mother takes a job in Africa to be with another doctor. A tumultuous world of emotion and identity is opened when she meets his slightly older, free-spirited stepdaughter Jin Mingmei (Huang Ziqi) and a new way of being presents itself.
