Slipping documentary fragments into a fiction narrative, director Nele Wohlatz intimately describes the culture shock experienced by Xiaobin, a 17-year-old Chinese girl attempting to make her way in Argentina who finds shelter in a furtive romance with Vijay, a young Indian who she meets in her language class. Wohlatz’s sui generis debut finds a startling, innovative, fluid form to echo its subject’s ongoing mastery of the conditional tense, which encourages her to imagine possible futures.
