The Two Mountains Weighing Down My Chest     



In Production, 90 mins, Director

A Chinese artist wannabe, drifting between Berlin’s overwhelming queer scene and a traditional family in Beijing, is constantly adapting to shifting opinions of herself, the world, and most importantly, China. Following a witty yet insightful search of identity and belonging, the film goes deep inside two completely different societies, only to question, how do we live in a globalised, but polarised world?
