Contents/Summary

Summary
A poignant documentary about the lives of three young sisters living in a poor mountain village in Yunnan Province, China. Yingying (10), Zhenzhen (6) and Fenfen (4) are the daughters of Sun Shunbao, a peasant abandoned by his wife. Sun scrapes for work in the nearest town of Tonghai, leaving his young daughters alone for weeks or months at a time. The girls live on their own doing back-breaking chores involving animal herding, dung collecting and potato gathering. This observational documentary is a deeply human look at an impoverished family whose rudimentary living conditions are a sharp riposte to the illusion of China's economic boom.
