Five single women from different cities discuss what love means to them and why it is difficult to find it.
The intricacies of love and human relationships… What do five women of different ages, cities, and social and financial backgrounds have in common? The difficulty of finding love. From a young, successful entrepreneur to a struggling, divorced mum, the search for love turns into a life quest for several women in China, and it makes one wonder why it takes Tracy Dong’s lens to bring it to light. We live in a world where technological advancements have propelled communication, and yet we struggle like never before to find our other half that will make us happy. Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, digital matchmaking platforms, such as Tinder and Plenty of Fish, or simply texting and calling have made it immensely easy to reach out to someone who potentially matches our standards, and, yet again, we still struggle to find that common denominator. One may wonder what happened to the “face-to-face” contact…
Dong’s omniscient lens “infiltrates” these beautiful (in and out) women’s lives and reveals the number of ways they are trying to find men to like them, and, surprisingly or not, she shows that appearance is not the problem. What women think of themselves, what men think of them, and what they expect from one another raise absurd expectations and create intricate scenarios, making it extremely hard for people to truly connect. To understand that respect and trust cannot be demanded, but only earned.
This extremely well-structured, nonjudgmental, and humorous documentary from Tracy Dong deserves to see the publicity lights and surface that middle ground called understanding. Kudos as well to all the women who came forward to present to the world, in the simplest possible way, one of the most basic human needs: how they feel!
We don’t deserve to be alone. So, let’s not be…
