Na svidenje, sin moj

Slovenski opis filma:

Presunljiva družinska drama in izjemen vpogled v ogromne družbene spremembe, skozi katere je šla Kitajska v zadnjih tridesetih letih. Srebrna medveda v Berlinu za najboljšo igralko in igralca. Nedolžna otroška igra ob vodnem zajetju se konča tragično in nad nekoč srečno družino leže senca trpke bolečine. V želji, da bi pozabila na tragedijo, se Jaojun in Lijun preselita v mesto in posvojita fantka, ki pa ne more povsem zapolniti nastale praznine. Fant se v najstniških letih upre in se odloči oditi od doma, zato ostarela zakonca skleneta, da se bosta vrnila v rodni kraj, ki po mnogo letih kaže povsem drugačen obraz. Njuna vrnitev sproži val spominov, vse od proletarske zanesenosti in mladostnih političnih idealov, zaradi katerih sta se bila pripravljena, morda pa celo prisiljena, odreči se otrokom, prek obljub cvetočega kapitalizma do pomirjujoče sprave s preteklostjo, temelječe na odpuščanju in brezpogojni ljubezni.

Originalni opis filma:

'We're waiting to grow old'. This sentence briefly sums up Yaoyun and his wife Liyun's bitter realization about their lives. They were once a happy family - until their son drowned playing by a reservoir. And so Yaojun and Liyun leave their home and plunge into the big city, although nobody knows them there and they cannot even understand the local dialect. Their adopted son Liu Xing does not offer them the comfort they had hoped for either. Defiantly rejecting his 'foreign' parents, he one day disappears altogether. The married couple are repeatedly enmeshed in their memories. Finally, they decide to return to the site of their lost hopes. In this family saga spanning three decades of Chinese history, the private and the political merge and the individual gets caught up in the gears of a society in the throes of constant change. Part melodrama, part critique of the times, this film takes us from the country's upheaval in the 1980s following the Cultural Revolution to the prospering turbo-capitalism of the present day. Told in sweeping tableaux, it makes visible the deep scars that lie beneath the surface of an ostensibly unbroken success story.
