Nan

A portrait that follows Nan my uncle and the last two years he and his parents live together In long tightly framed shots a picture emerges of three intimately interwoven lives the gentle and touching bickering between Nan and his mother the evenings in front of the television when time seems to stand still and the minutes ticking by as Grandpa silently peels an apple In the film disability is not only seen as symptoms on individual bodies but as social physical and temporal relationships It is a meditation on time disabilities and the economies of care in contemporary China
