Ying Ling delicately washes the face of the motionless body. Using a damp cloth, she carefully cleans the hands, feet and finally the torso. The 17-year-old girl is far from home, preparing for her exams at one of China’s largest funeral parlours.

We’re excited to present one of our discoveries from this year’s Berlinale, right off the back of its tour across UK cinemas. Salter’s humanist coming-of-age doc offers a tender, intimate, often funny look at womanhood in modern China. A little big film about life, death, and everything in between.
