1. “A Legend (传说)”

Kicking off the month with a bang is “A Legend”. The film follows an archaeologist who discovers that relics from a glacier excavation resemble a jade pendant he once saw in a dream. This realisation sparks an epic expedition into the heart of the glacier, where the team confronts both tangible dangers and mystical forces.

2. “A Place Called Silence (默杀)”

“A Place Called Silence” will delve into the harrowing realities of bullying and societal negligence. The film tells the story of Chen Yutong, a middle school student who endures relentless bullying while her mother, Li Han, struggles helplessly to protect her. The narrative explores the devastating effects of collective silence and indifference, offering a powerful commentary on how such attitudes can exacerbate violence and despair.

3. “The Unwavering Brotherhood (扎职3)”

“Successor” tells the story of a wealthy couple, Ma Chenggang and Chunlan, who decide to design a life of poverty for their little son to teach him the values Ma Chenggang learned during his own tough upbringing. The family embarks on a hilarious journey, living in a dilapidated yard and working as donkey drivers in their contrived impoverished existence. Despite the hardships, their son Ma Jiye is their only hope. Ma Jiye excels academically and is determined, but as he grows older, he starts noticing the increasingly strange behaviour of those around him.
