Official US Trailer for Chinese Farmer Marriage Drama 'Return to Dust'

"The soil rewards us. Whether you're rich or powerful or an ordinary person." Film Movement debuted an official US trailer for this indie film from China titled Return to Dust, from the award-winning filmmaker named Ruijun Li. This originally premiered in early 2022 at the Berlin Film Festival and it toured to other fests including Melbourne, Edinburgh, Toronto, Mill Valley. A tender tale about the transformative nature of love, Return to Dust is an "absorbing, beautifully framed drama" that was already a box office hit in China when it opened last year. Humble, unassuming Ma and timid Cao have been cast off by their families and forced into an arranged marriage. They have to combine their strength and build a home to survive. In the face of much adversity, an unexpected and wholesome bond begins to blossom, as both Ma and Cao, uniting with the Earth's cycles, create a haven for themselves in which they can thrive. A story about eternal love, against the odds. Starring Wu Renlin and Hai Qing as the couple. It's a very slow film that definitely isn't for everyone, but a few viewers will be thoroughly captivated by the riveting power of love captured in this. // Continue Reading ›
