Hi, Mom
Directed by Jia Ling
Produced by Alibaba Pictures Group, Tianjin Maoyan Media
A heartfelt time-travel fantasy about a daughter's chance to know her mother as a person and heal their relationship across generations.
Devastated after her mom's serious accident and grief-stricken because she hasn't become the daughter she wanted to be for her mother, a Chinese woman finds herself transported back in time to the year 1981, where she meets her younger mother before she was her mom.
