Siblings Zhou Haifeng and Zhou Haixia, both in their sixties, have long since left their hometown and settled in Beijing, yet they rarely visit or stay in touch. On New Year’s Eve, the brother and sister gather in Beijing with their respective families for a reunion. During the reunion dinner, their mother, Huang Guiyuan, who had recently gone missing, suddenly returns. Though she offers no explanation for her disappearance, only the siblings know the secret behind it—unspeakable truths and tangled emotions lie buried beneath the surface of the festive meal. Huang Guiyuan’s unexpected return upends the siblings’ lives. They struggle to balance their own challenges in Beijing with caring for their elderly mother, who has arrived from their hometown. A series of bittersweet and comedic episodes unfold among the three aging family members as they navigate this new reality.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
