Other name: 三姊妹, San Zi Mei

Description:

Three Sisters is a poignant drama set in the high-elevation village of Xiyangtang, Yunnan province. The film follows three young sisters, aged four, six, and ten, living like orphans after their mother abandons them and their father, Sun Shunbao, goes to the city for work. Left to fend for themselves, they rely on their aunt, who only feeds them in exchange for labor. When their father briefly returns, he takes the two younger daughters to the city, leaving the eldest, Yingying, behind with her grandfather, Sun Xinliang. Yingying copes with extreme loneliness in the impoverished village. Eventually, unable to afford city life, the father returns to stay, bringing a babysitter and her daughter, Yanyan. While the family is mostly reunited, the mother's absence remains painful. Zhenzhen, the six-year-old, highlights this loss with a heartbreaking final sentiment, concluding a raw, powerful narrative of survival and family bonds in rural China.
