“Our family is special”, says filmmaker Lei Lei’s father Lei Jiaqi. On the audio track of this inventive, poignant essay film he starts to talk about the struggles of his family, amid China’s troubled times of the 1960s. When his own father, Lei Ting, is sent to the countryside, he stays behind with his sister and his ill mother. When Mum passes away, and the system forbids Ting to come back to live with his children, the kids are kept in an orphanage.

[IFFR'22] An approach to the particular history of the director's family, and the oppression of the Cultural Revolution. The film establishes two levels of representation of memory: the audio stories narrated by his father, and the imagination of the director through animation pop-Art. A fascinating journey through his memory to make it ours, a documentary that is not a documentary, a fiction that is not fiction.
