Weiyena - The Long March Home
Synopsis
Two family histories, one century and two metropolises merge in one person: Weina ZHAO, whose parents called her 'Vienna' – Wéiyěnà – because they emigrated to Austria. Her journey into the history of China leads to the Japanese Occupation and the Cultural Revolution, while tackling the great issues of the 21st century: migration, identity and the search for one's past.
