Summary

Tenderness is a multi-faceted story about youth, decountrifying and attitude toward life.

Julia and Patrick – living-together, careful to each other couple have to face the approaching change.

Artur – self-confident, world curious egoist, works as a coach and barista at the same time. Vacillating between his choices he reaches the point when his world must be defined anew.

Maria – professionally fulfilled actress, running away from any relations, rebuffs every act of closeness.

A consistent use of calm narration in the native 3D technology and thanks to this fact obtained space and almost theatrical form, are setting the spectator close to the viewed story and moves him, literally and metaphorically, to another dimension of the story.

Summary

China, a vast and fertile country with a long history of 5 thousand years, has provided the world with its precious rich cultural heritages.
With modernization, those rare cultural heritages are now fading away. We hope to restore these cultures at the greatest extent so as to record them and pass them on.
Beauty is a sort of life experience. Besides recording those intangible cultural heritages one by one so people can learn more about them and the cultural connotation of thousands of years, this documentary gives more expression to “a greater inheritance”: These people in the documentary, no matter where are from, what career they are occupied in, or how different they are, they share the same original dream — a desire to maintain and pass on the precious cultural heritages of Chinese nation for thousands of years.
