Nearing forty and still single, Yao returns to his familial home in provincial China for Chinese New Year to visit his deaf-mute mother and invalid father, whose dying wish is to see his son wedded to the right woman - but Yao secretly wishes to marry the right man instead. A quietly affecting documentary shot in a stark yet mesmerising black & white, THE SILK AND THE FLAME is an intimate portrait of family, tradition and the struggle against conformity.
