Movie of the Day
Coming to Mother tells the story of a mother and daughter’s reunion after years apart. When Qianqian finds herself homeless after being deceived and is about to leave Nanjing, she meets her terminally ill mother at a café. Years ago, her mother fled an unhappy marriage in pursuit of freedom, and though she feels guilty for not being there during her daughter’s upbringing, she still hopes Qianqian will be as brave and independent as she once was. She leaves her house to her daughter, encouraging her to take control of her own destiny and avoid repeating the pattern of being trapped. Initially filled with resentment, Qianqian eventually understands her mother’s intentions and decides to accompany her to the sea to fulfill her final wish. The story concludes with mother and daughter reconciled—both a redemption of family bonds and a symbol of Qianqian “following” in her mother’s footsteps to become a free and strong woman. The narrative focuses on the emotional rift and reconciliation between mother and daughter, weaving together personal choices, women’s destiny, and profound yet restrained maternal love.

The film The Card Players is a free adaptation of the series of works by the French painter Paul Cézanne, bearing the same name. It consists of four episodes—Venus, Grafting the Vine, Grapes, and Bitter Wine—each with a different story.
In the episode Venus, symbolized by Diamonds, the main character has a deep connection with objects. Therefore, this episode places greater emphasis on objects. The main character is inspired by the standing café owner in Paul Cézanne’s painting The Card Players.
The episode Grafting the Vine, symbolized by Clubs, tells the story of a painter who portrays a woman in a garden. This episode emphasizes plants, and the main character is inspired by the figure on the right in Paul Cézanne’s painting The Card Players.
In the episode Grapes, symbolized by Spades, we see a young man living with several cats. The focus of this episode is on animals. The young man intends to make a change in his life of crime—not by abandoning it, but by committing crimes independently. This episode is inspired by the man on the left in Paul Cézanne’s painting The Card Players.
In the episode Bitter Wine, which follows Grafting the Vine and Grapes, we witness the brief companionship of two strangers. One is a man, an art dealer specializing in unknown painters, and the other is a woman, who previously appeared as a model in Grafting the Vine. The female character is inspired by the woman behind the two card players in Paul Cézanne’s painting The Card Players.
Symbolized by Hearts, this episode draws inspiration from the central figure in the painting. The two characters become travel companions for less than an hour.
