Questioning Motherhood with Half-Truths

German Premiere

In the quietude of her ordinary life, Beibei, a married mother, treads the well-worn path of routine until the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic snatches away her job—the lifeline of her household. Unfazed, she makes a bold decision to journey back to her southern roots, a quest that reweaves the fabric of her relationships. Blending the boundaries between fact and fiction, the film unfolds in a docufiction style, offering an intimate and unvarnished portrayal of a woman navigating the labyrinth of life's challenges. A bold and an impressive first feature. (CL)
