Weiyena - The Long March Home
Weina Zhao lives in Vienna, her parents even named her after this city, but she has always been drawn to China and her family’s past, where the opposing realities of 20th century life came together. While her mother’s side were filmmakers in glamorous 1930s Shanghai, her father’s side were poor peasants in the North. The biographies of the two families are marked by China’s development, from Mao’s Long March to the tragedies of the Cultural Revolution, to its present. The film is a unique testimony to this part of the intellectual history of the 20th century.
Weina’s journey begins as a timid approach to her family, but very soon she encounters traumatic memories – from the Japanese occupation to cruel imprisonment during the Cultural Revolution. She opens up unhealed wounds and has to face her own process of coming to terms with the past and her uprooted identity
Intimate portraits punctuated with absurd-funny moments bring us not only closer to today’s China and its history, they also remind us of universal themes such as identity, migration and facing up to with the past.
