Trace 2013

A young couple - Japanese national Ryuji and his Chinese wife Ji, who are the directors - take their newborn baby girl on a trip from Beijing to her mother's hometown in Qinglang. Trace is an intimate and ironic portrait of a new family facing opposition and scorn on the macro level but acceptance and tolerance on a micro level, as well as a simultaneously humorous and baffling look at the shifting face of modern childrearing.
