The Spokesperson (2016)
• January 1st, 2016 • 1h 37min
Overview
Cuizhen is a barber. As a foreigner, she is rejected by the locals. A serious illness ten years ago gave her "supernatural power" and became a possessed psychic. Over the years, the new gods in the village have changed to the old. Many people claim to be possessed psychics, to be the commander of all religions, and to establish the Western Paradise in the underworld. Cuizhen disagreed with these views. She just wanted to gather psychics and villagers together for a grand birthday event every year according to the instructions of the gods. Cuizhen's process of organizing a birthday memorial has been twists and turns, and her birthday has become a battle for the rights and status of psychics.
