Synopsis:
Beibei is an ordinary, married, and motherly woman, who lives a standard, methodical life. She decides to return to her southern hometown in search of opportunities, initiating the process of settling her family and reorganising her various relationships.
Preceding 'This Woman' will be a short 20 minute drama called 'Dear Parents'. Chao Ping, a Chinese student in Paris, broke her computer containing all her data. While she hopes to be able to recover them, her parents hope for her return to China.
Both films are spoken in Mandarin with English subtitles.
