Plot summary

When influential Chinese artist Ma Liang (a.k.a. Maleonn) realizes that his father Ma Ke, an accomplished Peking Opera director, is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, he invites his father to collaborate on his most ambitious project to date - a haunting, magical, autobiographical stage performance featuring life-size mechanical puppets called "Papa's Time Machine". Through the creation of this play, the two men confront their mortality before time runs out and memories are lost forever.

A promising premise and a resonant result

Highly enjoyable, moving, and tolerable for all 80 minutes! Realistic and not generic look at family dynamics after decades of perseverance over a difficult time in modern Chinese history, various mid-life crises, and artists' existential crises. All these little sparks are captured on cameras held in good hands. Glad to see that a subtitled Chinese-language film that touches upon many delicate topics can succeed as an international co-production, supported by multiple funders and institutions from around the world.

Good for theatre or short movie

Personally I would have liked it as a 30 minute short movie but they decided to have this as a documovie. But they are actually theatre people so kinda works for them. Very personal for them, but could be very much better with same plot if they want to reboot.
