The Reunions
Rework on Dong Chengpeng's previous award winning short "A Final Reunion". A comedy director has come up with an idea of breaking through his common filmmaking take by shooting a short film about how his grandmother would have spent on the New Year's day, crews recruited, the protagonist on set, everyone ready in the rural remote country where he was born and raised while out of everyone's expectation, the grandma passed. The movie has to go on, hence the narrative metamorphosizes from here... You can't always get what you want, as a storyteller, he leads the whole crew into another diverged yet moving journey.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a fragile bridge between personal grief and the creative act, relying on meta-cinematic reflection. It explores how reality intrudes upon artifice, forcing a narrative to transform before our eyes.
What lingers after is the raw, unresolved feeling of life refusing to follow a script — a poignant meditation on family and memory. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Dong Chengpeng
Best Watched
Watch in a quiet, contemplative setting to fully absorb its blurred lines between documentary and drama.
