Dumb Men 偷羞子

Dumb Men偷羞子 (Touxiuzi) (Hu Tao 胡涛, 2018, 86 min, China, Digital)

“People in my hometown call those who are shy and untalkative “touxiuzi”. Within my family, the touxiuzi gene is embodied in the members of three generations. As a touxiuzi in our family, I try to uncover and open up the real heart beating under our touxiuzi exterior, yet in the end I only open up myself. The touxiuzi in the family continue to circle in the air above the village and grow in the village’s soil.” (HT)
