Half-Meter (半米)

Directed By Zebang Yang

China | Narrative | 22 min

East Coast Premiere

With population growth, a once small village has become increasingly crowded. Old brick houses are demolished to make way for small buildings that are rented out. The trend of constructing multi-story buildings takes hold, transforming dirt roads into cemented roads and small houses into apartment complexes.

While building new houses should be a joyous occasion, it has sparked conflicts among the villagers. People compare themselves to one another and fiercely compete for every inch of land. The harmonious and cooperative neighborly relationships of the past have vanished.
