Film Movement ‘Trust’s Wang Xiaoshuai

Winner of the Silver Bear for best screenplay at this year’s Berlinal Film Festival (it also picked up a special mention from the Ecumenical Jury Prize jury), Wang Xiaoshuai’s In Love We Trust will actually see the day of light with a limited theatrical release. Screen Daily reports that Film Movement have picked up the family drama. 

Set in Beijing, and adapted from a true story, Zuo You (a.k.a.: In Love We Trust) is about the relationship crisis and emotional unrest of two couples when the son of the divorced couple is found to have leukemia. In need of a bone marrow transplant, the only way to save the teenage boy is for the divorced couple to give birth to another baby, which will jeopardize current relationships. 

So far this decade, the sixth generation Chinese filmmaker won the Jury Prize at Cannes for Shanghai Dreams and prior to that, he had already made a mark on the Berlinale by winning the Silver Bear for Beijing Bicycle.
