The Apple Doesn’t Fall…

The Apple Doesn’t Fall…

2026 · 18 min · Drama

In a stifling mise en scène that leaves no room for spontaneity, affection or rebellion, father, mother and daughter perform their rigid roles. Each follows their own script, out of sync and devoid of actual interaction. Their evocative choreography reveals small neuroses, fractures in the façade.

Directed by Dean Wei · Written by Shiyu Liu
