What Life Holds

Xiaoxin, an 18-year-old Burmese girl, married a Chinese husband who was more than a dozen years older than her. The camera followed her life for four years, including the sudden birth of a child, her husband's betrayal, washing clothes, cooking, harvesting and planting - the normal life wrapped up like raising silkworms and spinning silk. When an epidemic broke out, where should the Burmese women in the village who had no identity like her go? As fate changes, this film also discusses how a group of girls who left their hometowns can have a home and how to be women.

Tossed but not Sunk

In the early afternoon of the 11th March 2011, Japan was rocked by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake that caused widespread damage to the country’s eastern coastal region. Just after the earthquake, TV Iwate’s phones had been ringing off the hook with people wanting to know if their families are O.K. As a local broadcasting station, TV Iwate got name lists of evacuees from evacuation centers, took video messages and broadcasted it on their news programs or information programs every day. The length of footages that TV Iwate has shot this region reached approximately 1,850 hours for 10 years. Each victim lives out their life in their way with unresolved grief. Sachiko couldn’t find her husband in the end and took 6 years to accept reality. It was necessary for her to have kept writing countless letters to him. On the other hand, Kayoko and Daisuke couldn’t have a wedding, but they raise twins under the coronavirus crisis. 10 years of progress, we’ll never forget it.

The Wind From Nowhere

"We dream of a world where we can find our own way." If a woman removes the option of 'marriage' from her life, even those who see her for the first time predict her miserable future. The old belief that a woman's life has a happy ending only when she ends up as a 'wife' or 'mother' is still alive in 2020. Now in 2020, many women are throwing away old customs and flying into their own world. This documentary sheds light on the stories of women who are walking the path of singleness over time. Through this documentary, I hope that the freedom is expanded into two options, and thus make women's daily lives more diverse and free.
