Between Father and Son plot

Central to this portrait of a Chinese family are the paterfamilias who, at the age of 85, still work their land daily by hand, his wife who feeds and slaughters the chickens, and one of their sons, who spends his days in a small apartment in the city. in the company of a television and a supply of drinks. Clear black and white images capture faces, actions, rituals and moments when the whole family, including grandchildren, gathers around the family home dining table. The largely static camerawork invites you to observe their roles and relationships. In his field the old man answers the birds' chatter, but in the house his taciturn nature dominates. The isolation of the son only becomes painfully palpable here.
