Xi He

Lin, a young mother in modern China, has one goal: to get her autistic son Xi He an education at a "normal school" so he can live an independent life. She races between her low-level bank job and damage control at Xi He's school, where his behavioral problems are causing increasing outrage from the other parents. When her goal appears out of reach, the depth and horrific source of her determination are revealed. (Cinequest Festival)
