Synopsis

In Southern China, a small town that was once a hive of heavy industry is about to be effectively abandoned. One of the town’s residents is Shui Qing (Li Geng Xi), a young woman who has not seen her biological mother Qu Ting (Regina Wan) for 17 years. She has lived with her controlling, emotionally distant stepmother for the best part of two decades. Her life revolves around a small group of friends, which the members call the “Young Rabbit Gang.” When Shui Qing is finally reunited with her biological mother, the older woman begins spending time with her daughter once more, as well as the rest of the “gang.” Life seems to have taken a turn for the better at last for Shui Qing. But the good times do not last long. A mysterious man known as Old Du (Huang Jue) turns up, an event that threatens to reveal secrets about Qu Ting. Will his arrival spell the end of Shui Qing’s happiness – or can she somehow salvage the peace she has longed for so desperately... “The Old Town Girls” is a 2020 Chinese movie that was directed by Shen Yu.
