Film: G for Gap

G for Gap tells us about Wudi, who moves back to live with his parents after he breaks up with his girlfriend and realises there is nothing left for him in the big city. His sister, a taxi driver is also single and at home and his parents don’t have much to say to each other.

It is in this environment, that after bumping into a school friend who is now a documentary maker, he decides to go into filmmaking.

Through this, after giving his mum the starring role, the family gets to know each other again. During his ‘Gap year’ Wudi realises what he is good at.

G for Gap has some funny and poignant moments and a little bit of insight into Chinese family values.
