Pu bu

When a classmate tests positive for Covid-19, high schooler Xiao Jing begins home quarantine. Her mother, Pin-Wen, is asked by her company to take a leave of absence. Confined together, the already thorny mother-daughter relationship becomes strained. After several strange episodes, Pin- Wen is hospitalised and diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. Only then does Xiao Jing realise her mother is truly ill. Facing sickness, unemployment, and family debts, a cloud of difficulties looms over their future. Mental illness causes the mother and daughter’s lives to swerve in unexpected directions, yet it also untangles threads that have long been twisted around their hearts. Pin-Wen discovers that when she falls, the only one who can catch her is her daughter. (Venice International Film Festival)
