Spiral Staircase of Harbin
2009, English. Directed by Ji Dan.
On a hill in Harbin in China's Heilongjiang Province in the director's hometown, a girl neglects her exam preparation in favor of drawing pictures, and her mother wants her to study. Below the hill, a couple is unable to say anything to their son who is always playing with his friends. The feelings of these powerless parents blend with the atmosphere of an unforgiving modern society.
