Alluring and Whimsical

In a flash of light a strange stone appears to a woman in the countryside of a remote province. People interpret the mysterious event in different ways, but most - including community leaders - interpret it as a UFO sighting and attempt to milk the evolving situation for cash and manipulate the facts to support personal pet projects. Presumptive, conflicting and vague official pronouncements only add to the confusion.

UFO in Her Eyes is an alluring and whimsical parody of China's changing political climate and economy. While sophistication and depth are lacking and many scenes are awkward, this funny story and hopeful vision for China's future is encouraging and warms my heart. Seen at the Miami International Film Festival.
