Pure Land

Present-day China. Jin Feng lives in northern Shanxi Province. She already has two daughters and is pregnant again. Perhaps it’s a son this time? But officials from the Family Planning Commission said that the parents had to pay 40,000 yuan for having a third child, an amount the poor family is unable to pay. Jin Feng decides to hide at her sister’s house, where she follows the practice of Pure Land Buddhism and meditates every day. Can she escape from the system? (Warsaw Film Festival)
