To the Bright Side

Synopsis

Take a ride on this charming anthology film, which brings together seven beautifully animated shorts that transport you across China—through its past and present, cities and countryside, realistic everyday settings and fantastical mythological worlds. The characters vary widely, from a rabbit family and a boy doing homework in his parents' restaurant to a child and his grandmother in the countryside, yet each short tells a distinct story about love, challenges, and growing up by following your own path. Every segment captivates with its unique visual style, lovingly hand-drawn using rich colors, ink painting, paper-cutting, watercolor, collage, and more, offering heartfelt interpretations of life, love, and growth from the perspectives of these talented Chinese filmmakers.
