Fine Dried Noodles

Three generations of "noodle makers" and their changing fates, intertwined with local Shaanxi folk songs, wedding and funeral customs, and the natural landscape of the Loess Plateau .

The film is based on the intangible cultural heritage of Shaanxi Wubu County — the traditional handmade hollow dried noodles (空心手工挂面) from Zhangjiashan. It follows the life of Zhang Jiagen (张家根), the first-generation inheritor of this noodle-making craft, and his struggles against fate.
