Director: Zhang Lu<\/strong>
\n China \u00a0 | \u00a0 2009 \u00a0 | \u00a0 89 minutes<\/strong>
\n Korean and Mandarin, with subtitles in English<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writer-director Zhang Lu\u2019s fascinating window into a rarely seen corner of rural China revolves around 12-year-old Chang-ho, living with his grandfather and mute sister along the frozen river-border with North Korea. Although fraught with unemployment and other tensions, his community seems sympathetic toward the Korean refugees fleeing famine and misery; Chang-ho even bonds over soccer with one young border-crosser who comes scavenging food for a sibling. But he soon turns on his new friend as suspicions mount against the illegal immigrants and his sister reels from unexpected aggression, provoking a quandary over his loyalties in an exquisitely detailed story of compassion and strife across an uneasy geopolitical border.<\/strong><\/p>\n
