Synopsis

Grandma's Holiday" is an intimate portrait of my grandmother's life, exploring the themes of invisible female labor, quiet sacrifice, and the pervasive patriarchal structures of her generation in China. Through the lens of her summer stays at a mountain holiday village—where she continues her caregiving duties amidst changing scenery—the film examines a lifetime of putting family before self. It speaks to the profound lack of self-worth awareness among countless Chinese women of that era, whose own dreams and identity were often silently deferred.
