(Under the Hawthorn Tree)
Zhang Yimou
A beautifully innocent and melancholy love story takes place at the end of China's Cultural Revolution, over 30 years ago. Because her mother is branded a "capitalist", Jingqiu, a beautiful city girl, is sent to be "re-educated" through work in the countryside. She is housed with a group in a small village, where she meets Lao San, a young geologist, and is drawn to his responsible character. The two fall in love...
