Location: Zurich, Bookstore Never Stop Reading
Organizer: sinokultur 

Subject: At the end of 2017, Nina immigrated from Shanghai to canton Aargau, Switzerland. As part of the immigrant community, she herself experienced immigrant life and has become an observer of this process. Since the spring of 2022, she has invited five immigrant women to read poems in their mother tongue in order to portray the hardships and joys of their new life. She uses real and delicate film language to show the audience the private states of mind of these women from different cultural backgrounds, hoping that these ordinary individuals can gain the audience's understanding and respect.

This immigration journey, whether bitter or joyful, is an experience worth remembering. Where will these immigrant women go and will they be able to put down roots in this country? Will this be their last stop?
