Return to Dust
Li Ruijun / CN, 2022 / 131 min.
The shy Ma and Cao are forced into an arranged marriage. Slowly, but surely they develop an exceptional bond. This tale of unexpected love has been received as one of the most moving, lyrical films of this year.
Ma and Cao are two middle aged outcasts. She is handicapped and his is a taciturn farmer whose only possession is a donkey. Being single at their age is unthinkable in rural China. When they also become burdens to their families, the latter decide to arrange a marriage against Ma and Cao’s wishes.
