Huan Huan

Directed by Song Chuan

With Liu Xiang, Tian Yuefang and Baoshan Zhang

Song Chuan’s first feature captures the dreams and desires, disappointments and regrets, of a life not fully lived via the title character. In a rural Chinese village, a young woman who is the local doctor’s mistress struggles against her family, government bureaucracy and social mores to move away and create a life for herself.
