Set in a remote mountain village in China in the mid 1980's, Mountain Cry weaves a tale that begins with the sudden violent death of a man under unusual circumstances, leaving behind a mysterious widow - a young mute woman with two young children. The broken family, strangers from a distant province, upsets the village’s tight-knit traditional community structure.
Larry Yang’s social drama is based on a novel by Ge Shuiping. The small-town portrait with its quiet powers offers a love story of remarkable credibility and emotional depth.

Filmography: Sorry I Love You (2013), Nana (2012).
