Nini, What Time Is It There?

About This Movie

Nini, What Time Is It There? is a fascinating exploration of distance and connection, narrated through the intertwined lives of two young women. There's this palpable sense of longing as one finds herself in a small town in Southwestern China while the other resides in a faded Toronto apartment. The tone is introspective, almost meditative, with a slow-paced rhythm that allows you to absorb the subtleties of their relationship. The visuals are striking—practical effects blend seamlessly with the emotional weight of the performances, drawing you into their world. It’s distinct in how it tackles themes of isolation and the search for meaning in everyday life, capturing a sense of shared experience across miles without overselling the sentimentality.
