In a tiny home down an ancient lane in modern Beijing, aspiring writer Wu and her mom are at loggerheads whenever they’re not empathetically making up. Wu is played by director Yang Mingming, one of China’s brightest young talents, and in this screwball melo-comedy she deftly scooters around her neighbourhood while middle-aged mom (Nai An) copes with the men they may or may not need in their lives. Intense, joyous and witty, this is Chinese urban life as redefined by two indomitable, vibrant women.
