STARRING:
SYNOPSIS:
Set in China in the middle of the Cultural Revolution in the early
1970s, in a small village where the intellectuals are "re-educated" by the peasants, the film focuses on three people. Ma
is a violinist. Her friend has renamed one of Mozart's sonatas "Mozart Thinks About Chairman Mao" in order to please the village
head. The two accomplices meet a little seamstress with whom they hatch an amorous and literary plot, through the medium of
literary classics by Flaubert, Dumas, Tolstoy, and Balzac, that they read in secret.
