With the arrival of an outsider, a peasant woman in rural China begins to sense the repressive, patriarchal bindings of her fate. A fruit tree fights to bloom. The Funeral of Spring is a deeply symbolic, intimate and languidly pastoral exploration of a woman’s sense of self in an environment devoid of female autonomy.
