A filmmaker undergoes a series of home remedies and spiritual rituals as their family attempts to purge their gender-fluid identity. Caught in a struggle of love, legacy, and belief, a Southwest Chinese family seeks to rid their queer heir of what they perceive as an unwanted entity.
Hao Zhou is a filmmaker originally from southwest China, currently based in Ohio. Exploring queer themes and overlooked spaces, Zhou’s films have been screened at the Berlinale, Locarno, Rotterdam, and SXSW among other festivals. Select works include The Night (2014), Frozen Out (2021), Wouldn’t Make It Any Other Way (2024), and Like What Would Sorrow Look (2024).
