South of Clouds
Directed by Wang Er Zhuo2011 87m
The director's aunt runs a beauty parlor in a town in Yunnan Province, close to the Burmese border. Having once raised him as if he were her own son, she now embraces her nephew and his camera without conditions. The director's aging aunt passionately shares stories of the trials of her youth, of young love and her family, expressing her love for her nephew. Contrasting her views on love with the hopeful outlook of the young women who work in her beauty parlor, this personal documentary evokes everyday human happiness and sorrow through an aunt's words.
