SoulMate
A melancholic, intimate portrait of female friendship tested by romantic love across two decades in modern China, grounded in feminist themes of identity and choice.
The film spans two decades, as the story unfolds in a series of flashbacks that begin when Qiyue and Ansheng were just thirteen. The two became inseparable, until they met a boy who ended up tearing their lives apart.
