The Racoon

Directed by Tang Shi

Xiao An and Mao Cai, dorm mates brought together by a mix-up with their bed sheets, quickly form a bond that deepens with every encounter. When Mao Cai asks Xiao An to be his “little brother”, Xiao An agrees, though his feelings reach far beyond brotherhood.
The Racoon is an intimate Chinese drama about identity, secrecy and the emotional masks people adopt to survive social pressure. Tang Shi keeps the film restrained, and although the production is modest, the quiet tension gives it some weight.
