Storyline

The number of women choosing to live independently in China has increased significantly in recent years, reflecting the changing social dynamics and evolving gender roles. Rapid urbanisation and rapid economic development in China have contributed to a shift in gender roles, leading to an increase in the number of women living alone. Living alone also represents a form of empowerment and autonomy.

This film tells the stories of eleven ordinary women living alone, from different parts of China, with different personalities and different cultural identities, filmed before the end of the epidemic in China (before November 2022), each of whom also participated in the film as co-writers, telling their own stories in their own languages.

They are like beautiful irises blooming in the land of China.
