Film screening: My Five Year Plan

This film follows three young, unmarried women between 2016-2023, Amber, Jingya and Tingting who in different ways struggle to follow their dreams, their loves, their ambitions. The Chinese state today displays increasing worries about falling nativity at the same time that traditional Chinese family values challenges and constrains many young women in China. During the course of the filming, both Amber and Jingya end up in Europe, looking for different lives. But can life in Europe really fulfill their dreams?
