Once in a summer

Students' movement, political trauma, the intellectual youth visiting the rural areas, two young people from entirely different backgrounds/camps meet in a circumstance of instability, fall in love and are caught up in a social upheaval in an historical moment. The further into the film, the more it feels like a Chinese one that depicts the confusion, joys, suffering and pain of the youth who were sent down to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. History can teach us nothing.
