Outlander 島外人

Outlander is a short film made in 2020 as my film school graduation project, which tells a story about a not so ordinary family of three: a sixty-year-old grandma, a mentally handicapped mother, and a granddaughter of fifth grade, living in a village opposite the island city of Xiamen, my hometown in mainland China.
