Synopsis

2H combines documentary and dramatic film techniques to depict the psychological passages of two Chinese expatriates in Tokyo as they attempt to accommodate their existence to the two universal events of life - birth and death. Ma Jinsan is a 95 year-old former Kuomintang general who defected to Japan nearly 50years earlier, shortly after the Communist revolution. Bound to Ma by chance, circumstance and emotional need, Xiong Wenyun is an avant garde artist desperately seeking to fulfill an innate but inarticulate to have a child.
