Join us for an afternoon of film screening followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, Ying Wang.

What would you do if your only child died mysteriously in another country and was buried sight unseen? Following the epic 10-year journey of an elderly Chinese couple searching for the truth behind their son’s death in Canada, what starts as a murder mystery becomes something else entirely. The film is a rare revelation of immigration, mental health and a Kafkaesque state bureaucracy at the heart of global migration.

This film is primarily in Mandarin, with captions in English.

要是你唯一的孩子在异国他乡突然离世，并在你未曾见到遗体的情况下被下葬，你会怎么做？
影片追随一对年迈的中国夫妇，记录他们历时十年、远赴加拿大追寻儿子死亡真相的艰难旅程。故事起初看似一桩谋杀悬案，里头却揭示了艰难的移民经历、不被重视的心理健康问题及荒诞的国家官僚体制。

本片主要为普通话对白，配有英文字幕。
导演王瓔将到场并在影片放映后和观众进行问答环节。
