General note Title from resource description page (viewed October 28, 2021).
Summary Kite is the moving portrait of four Chinese women across generations. The three young Chinese women - Patrice, Viola and Yuni - allude to the intersection of mental health and one's experience as a member of the diaspora of Chinese youth. The filmmaker's grandmother, Suqin, speaks about the Great Chinese Famine sixty years ago and foreshadows the continuation of a collective memory of trauma in a younger generation. The film explores the relationship between time and memory, the shifting definition of health, feminine embodiment, and the question of labels. Kite is an illustration of the weight of time and responsibility, a testament to the never-ending nostalgia and regret, yet it is also a hopeful portrayal of the possibilities of changing and becoming. While witnessing how four Chinese women in different generations have responded to pain, the film also spotlights their resilience when facing overwhelming social and bodily constraints.
