Description:

All About My Mother introduces Ji Peizhen, the indispensable soul of her family, whose meticulous care and organization make it seem she has multiple clones. Her home appears flawlessly orderly, but this perfect facade hides deeper truths. Peizhen idolizes her daughter, Li Xiaomei, oblivious to the undisclosed complexities of Xiaomei's life while working and living in Beijing. Adding to the family's unspoken burdens, Peizhen's husband, Doctor Li Wengfan, has been unable to practice medicine for years due to a past mistake. As Peizhen eagerly anticipates a well-deserved, relaxing retirement, her world is shattered by a devastating cancer diagnosis, leaving her with only four months to live. This heart-wrenching news forces the family to confront their hidden realities and navigate an uncertain future without their unwavering matriarch. The film explores how this family will endure and continue their lives as they face the unimaginable loss of their central pillar.
