Restless is the Night 她的夜晚
"Restless is the Night" revolves around two women: thirty-year-old Lin, a manager in a trading company; and twenty-year-old Fan, an intern at the same company. Set in modern-day China, the story explores the unwanted situations women find themselves in while navigating everyday urban life, and how they manage to find their way out.
The central message we want to convey with the proposed animated project is to laud the idea of “girls helping girls” and female solidarity in a malicious patriarchal society.
When asked by a Chinese journalist about her understanding of feminism, Geeta Menon, a social activist in India working with women workers, said, “For me feminism is the simple decision women take against all odds, and she still survives there.” We hope our project embodies that very spirit.
