Tiger And Turtle
Tianlin XU • 2024
17-year-old Tao is about to finish her training at the Yue-Opera School. Her mother, eager to secure her future, plans to use her connections to get Tao into a private opera troupe. Feeling unprepared and upset from arguing with her mother, Tao runs away on the day of her school performance. That afternoon, she reconnects with Hui, a childhood friend who has recently returned from Beijing with new experiences but is even more uncertain about his future than Tao.
