by Jia Zhang-ke - China
TRIBUTE TO JIA ZHANG-KE

Pitch

Dahai, a miner, exasperated by the corruption of the village officials, decides to take action. San'er, a migrant worker, discovers his gun's endless possibilities. Xiao Yu, a receptionist in a sauna, is pushed to the limit by a rich client harassing her. Xiao Hui moves from one job to another in increasingly degrading conditions.

"We live in times where people feel closer to each other on Weibo than in real life. This is why I wanted the four stories to interweave. I want to understand how we are evolving, how people "restructure" their lives and grasp how we form connections in the world we are building." Jia Zhang-ke
