❝This documentary tells the story of a female doctor from a small-town Chinese hospital, who, after devoting 27 years to saving lives, is secretly contemplating quitting. That doctor is my mother. And that hospital is -- as I affectionately call it -- the “daycare center” where I grew up. Armed with a camera, I return to the hospital to make sense of my mother’s career crisis – not expecting to encounter a fractured healthcare system, and my own family’s battle with cancer.❞ by Siyi Chen
