Three Sisters (San Zimei)

The resilience of childhood amid extreme poverty.

In a remote mountain village in Yunnan province, the youngest members of a multi-generational peasant farming family, sisters aged ten, six, and four, grow up. Their mother has abandoned them; the father is away for long periods for work; the little girls spend their days playing and helping with chores. An intimate and quiet masterpiece of observational filmmaking.
