If her grandmother’s life were a movie, Weina Zhao would have turned it off after just half an hour—what happens is too brutal, too tragic. So she makes her own film, together with Judith Benedikt, about her Chinese family. Weiyena – Ein Heimatfilm is testimony to a search that leads to Beijing and Shanghai, deep into the political as well as social revolutions of the twentieth century, and ultimately also to Weina Zhao herself.
