Blossom

As a young woman journeys to a new country the promise and possibility of her life spills out like the petals of a flower unfurling into full and glorious bloom Julia Kwans film Blossom captures a womans experience mirrored and reflected in the natural world As summer opens into spring mother and daughter build a life together The taste and texture of each season whether the icecream smell of summer the crisp birch air of autumn or the warmth of winter dumplings are lovingly rendered in animation sound and image Throughout the passage of time the persistence of love endures as resolute and unchanging as the cycle of the season
