Caught by the Tides
Singing and dancing, Qiaoqiao and Bin love each other and everything their city has to offer. Until Bin decides to try his luck in a bigger city. Without a word, he leaves. Years later, Qiaoqiao sets out to find him. By following his heroine's romantic destiny, Jia Zhang-ke delivers a unique cinematic epic that spans all his films and 25 years of history in a country undergoing profound transformation.
This fragile love story set in China, over a period from the early 2000s to the present, is a unique viewing experience. Indeed, by using material from his previous films, from the past two decades, filmmaker Jia Zhangke gives a fresh perspective on a country that went through a profound transformation in the time that has passed: his homeland.
