So, 'Fresh Water Bay' from 1984 is this intriguing drama set in Suzhou, revolving around Gu Tingting, a silk factory worker. She gets this wild news about inheriting a fortune thanks to her late aunt, but things take a turn when her cousin Feng, feeling threatened, pulls a fast one with a forgery and sues her. The atmosphere is thick with tension and the pacing draws you in slowly, letting the characters breathe. What stands out is how the judge, Ping, starts piecing together the truth amidst the chaos. The performances are solid, carrying this undercurrent of desperation and familial betrayal that you don't often see. It’s a unique take on the themes of trust and greed, wrapped in a very personal story.
