Aftershock

“23 seconds, 32 years.”

In Tangshan in 1976, an earthquake buries seven-year-old twins under the rubble, and the rescue team tells their mother, Li Yuanni (Xu Fan), that freeing one child will almost certainly cost the other. Feng Xiaogang follows what her choice sets in motion across the decades that come after. The girl, Fang Deng (Zhang Jingchu), is left for dead and lives, and mother and daughter carry the same morning apart.
