About This Movie

Tisese offers an intriguing glimpse into the Mosuo culture, a rare matrilineal society in Yunnan Province, where traditional concepts of marriage and family are redefined. It’s not flashy, but there’s this quiet intensity as we follow the lives of three women navigating their unique social structure. The atmosphere feels intimate, almost like you're invited into their world. The pacing is measured, allowing you to absorb the nuances of their daily lives without rushing. The film captures the stark contrasts between their lifestyle and mainstream society, provoking thoughts on gender roles and familial bonds. It's all about those genuine moments—the way they connect with each other, the beauty of their surroundings, and how they challenge what we think we know about relationships.
