Like a Rolling Stone (2024)

Like many women of her generation, Li Hong constantly makes sacrifices for the well-being of others, whilst being relentlessly mistreated by all the male figures around her. First her authoritarian father, who forced her to abandon her studies and go out to work, then her petty brother who employs her for years without paying her dues, but above all her abusive, cheapskate husband who, after an initial peaceful partnership, begins to treat her as if she was the home help. Even Li Hong’s daughter fails to realise that she’s taking advantage of her mother’s goodwill; she doesn’t notice how she’s always putting aside her own needs to indulge others. Li Hong’s unhappiness, as is often the case, is mistaken for depression and treated with medication instead of respect. Li Hong keeps trying to convince herself that a new day will come. But in the end, exasperated by yet another episode of physical and mental violence, she decides to leave, despite the fact that the Covid pandemic has just broken out. (Source: fareastfilm.com/eng) ~~ Based on the true story of Su Min, an “accidental” feminist icon on social media since leaving her husband in 2020 and, at the age of 56, setting off on a solo road trip to explore China, primarily to finally get a taste of independence and freedom.
