Director‘s Statement:

In 2021, after more than 30 years, the government finally gave up the only child policy and introduced the three-child policy to the public, while the situation of China's aging population is getting worse and worse. The story of Her Portrait is set in such a period, shares a family tragedy, the dispute between two generations and the self-salvation of a father. This film not only shows the trauma which the fertile policies bring to the normal Chinese families and how it healed by three generation, but also would like to bring audiences’ thoughts by discussing the problem of Chinese patriarchal system which badly damages female reproductive rights.
