White Eyes

Wang Shuai returns to his ancestral village after his father's death to settle inheritance matters. Instead of finding peace, he encounters the silent resistance of his mother, who refuses to leave the old house. Each day within these walls becomes a battle between filial duty and a mother's attachment to the land of her ancestors. The 2025 family drama examines kinship through the lens of modern rural China, where tradition clashes with progress. Quiet conversations over tea reveal more than loud arguments, and unspoken grievances accumulate for years in the cracks of the clay walls. The film becomes a meditative journey into the past, where every object holds memory and every silence contains a whole story.
