Dir. Zhang Yimou · China, Hong Kong · Chinese, Mandarin
In her village, she was the teacher. In the city, she discovered how much she had to learn.
Set in the People's Republic of China during the 1990s, the film centers on a 13-year-old substitute teacher, Wei Minzhi, in the Chinese countryside. Called in to substitute for a village teacher for one month, Wei is told not to lose any students.
"The Chinese director Zhang Yimou has a rare gift for dramatizing highly theatrical stories in highly naturalistic settings."
— Peter Rainer
