ANIMA
(China, 120 min)
Directed by Jinling Cao

SYNOPSIS:
Set in the breathtakingly beautiful forests of Inner Mongolia, two brothers struggle to make a living in the Chinese logging industry. Tensions rise when they both take an interest in a local widow and find themselves at odds over the increasingly reckless deforestation practices destroying their homeland. Visually stunning and exquisitely scored, Anima is a deeply-moving family drama about the need to keep our Earth in balance. It reconnects us with indigenous traditions and reminds us about man’s spiritual interdependence with the natural world. Chinese with English subtitles.
