UK Premiere: Hard Love plus Introduction

This one-off screening is the Opening Film for Odyssey: a Chinese cinema season (10 May - 10 June), the biggest Chinese film festival in Europe in 2022, presented by UK-China Film Collab.

This documentary is a bona fide portrayal of five big-city single Chinese women: one searches for a relationship without a breakup; one believes that egg freezing is the "most valuable investment"; one stumbles between dating events under the pressure of her family; one puts her faith in online dating apps; one assumes the vital role of a single mother.

They have different upbringings and values, but they are facing the same questions in their love life: In this urbanized, online-socializing, and diverse time, what do we lack in relations? What have we abandoned? What have we neglected?
