Paper Plane

This film is a story of desperation and dreams, of devastation and renaissance. The child in the film denounces the damage caused by drugs and struggles to call his mother back, fighting for a beautiful dream in a miserable reality. The film tells the story of a divorced mother who leads a poor life, seeks relief but turns to drug abuse. Her son never gives up on her, and tries to call his mother back by folding hundreds of paper planes, throwing them into the drug rehabilitation center: “Mum, I love you, I’m waiting for you”, he cries out. There is only a gate between the outside world and the inner drug rehabilitation center but the gate separates ‘heaven from hell’. Paper Plane is a metaphor for a caring public and seeking a better way to keep people away from the ugly side of illicit drugs. (Chinese Production / English-Language Sub-Titles)
