Send Me to the Clouds
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer, iron-willed journalist Sheng Nan (�Surpass Men� in Chinese) is pressured to make a quick fortune and find mind-blowing sex before the costly surgery numbs her senses. Taking on a businessman�s biography writing job, she hikes into the misty mountains, where a chain of outbursts with her dysfunctional family, grumpy client, misogynistic co-worker and dreamlike romantic interest hilariously unfold. As deeply moving as it is luminously witty, writer-director Teng Congcong�s debut waltzes across the bitterness swallowed by her generation of women born under China�s One Child Policy, unprecedentedly burdened to �surpass men� while trying not to be �leftover women� at the same time. Saluting the 18th-century Chinese literature classic Dream of the Red Chamber in its title, the enchanting gem refreshes the novel's transcendent contemplation on desire, death and womanhood from a modern cinematic perspective.
