废品堆里诞生的油画家的故事
Weng Jiang's Wuhan-based family was hit hard by the COVID-19 outbreak: both his parents died in February, 2020, two days apart; he and his wife were also infected, and the latter suffered from depression; to protect the children, he had to send her daughter away. Weng recorded all his phone conversations during those trying times. “Calling Back From Wuhan” is a short documentary based on those audio clips. The recordings contain the last words people uttered before dying from the virus. They document the struggle, love, and resolve of an average family in the epicenter of a disaster.
故事的主人公刘桃妹坚信自己被恶意包围,就像她之前几十年所经历的一样。证据是她的眼泪。故事的相反版本是,居民们痛诉自己的委屈,并否认刘桃妹的一切指控,让前去采访的记者们焦头烂额。看见是一件重要的事。遗憾的是,在这个故事里,没有人能完完整整地看见,每个人在别人口中的角色只能是“可恶的邻居”或“喜欢搞事的‘瞎子’”。
