A Touch of Spring

About This Movie

A Touch of Spring offers a raw glimpse into the life of Li Fang, a Chinese immigrant grappling with personal turmoil in Montreal. The film's pacing has this contemplative rhythm, drawing you into her emotional landscape as she navigates her struggles with infertility and the fallout from her tumultuous marriage. The atmosphere shifts beautifully when she returns to Dazu, her birthplace, where familial ties and the weight of tradition clash. The performances, especially the lead, have a certain authenticity—it's like you can feel their pain and resilience. There’s an understated visual style here too, with practical effects that ground the story in a real sense of place and time. It’s a quiet yet powerful exploration of identity and loss.
