SYNOPSIS

Xiaobin, a young Chinese in Buenos Aires, has to deal with the contradictions of her new everyday life. She does so, using the film as a rehearsal room.

Press quotes
“Sharply self-reflexive, with a serious underlay of philosophical inquiry, the film features a deliciously downbeat performance from Zhang Xiaobin. It’s simply a delight to find a film that’s so insightful about issues of identity, exile, language and self—and at the same time, so elegantly funny.” Jonathan Romney (Film Comment)
