The Spring Festival

Old worker Cheng and his wife have scrimped and saved all year, dreaming of reuniting their scattered family around the New Year's Eve feast. Yet the long-awaited gathering erupts into a series of confrontations. Their adult children arrive with ledgers of childhood grievances, demanding money for business ventures and apartments, while the grandchildren witness the unravelling of familial bonds. Against a backdrop of fireworks and clinking glasses, decades of resentment, hypocrisy, and cold calculation rise to the surface.
