Scene work for this title — private technique journals.
Open journal →The story
The first work written and directed by Xinjiang female director Lu Dan uses a delicate technique to tell the story of a Russian photographer who has been away from his hometown for a long time, a Han girl who wanders around looking for her father, and a lonely Tatar accordionist in a northern town in winter. A story of unexpected encounters.
