Seventeen Years (VCD) (Hong Kong Version) VCD

From director Zhang Yuan (Green Tea, I Love You) comes Seventeen Years, an intelligent and haunting tale of redemption. Tao Lan (Lau Lam) is a woman in her mid-thirties, on a furlough from prison, where she was incarcerated for seventeen years. When she was a teen, Tao Lan was framed for petty theft by her stepsister Yu Xiaoqin, and in trying to prove her own innocence accidentally killed her own stepsister! Years later, escorted by prison guard Chen Jie (Lee Bing Bing), Tao Lan undertakes a journey to see her parents, a meeting filled with remorse and the hope of forgiveness - and also the threat of rejection. Director Zhang Yuan brings low-key style to this moving tale of an emotionally charged, bittersweet family reunion. Seventeen Years screened at numerous film festivals worldwide, including the Venice Film Festival, where it was nominated for the prestigious Golden Lion, and Zhang Yuan was honored with a special director's award.
