A young girl witnesses three deaths and two births in rural China during the summer of 1992.
Why watch the movie Mama?
"Not all of Chinese modern cinema is made up of big-budget wuxia productions. 'Ma ma he qui Tian de shi Jian' is a small, introspective drama written and directed by Dongmei Li, telling the story of what happened in a small village in the Chinese countryside during the summer of 1992. Featuring non-actors, the production brings a different view than the urban vision we are used to seeing from the country in recent years. The end result is an ode to simplicity, with beautiful scenery and a slow pace - showing that there is beauty in the mundane."
