Director: Zheng Xusong｜Cast: Pan Zhaode / Li Yuanqun / Tao Shiquan｜China｜2025

Pan Zhaode, a young man from a rural village in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, has thrown himself into his work at a local distillery with enthusiasm and hope. Balancing family and work is currently his greatest challenge. He commutes daily between the factory and home, and frequently visits psychiatric hospitals and other medical facilities: his elderly father, his mother suffering from dementia, his wife who has left him, and his two young daughters—these are the realities he must strive to face.
