Under the impact of the new economic wave, the lives of the original residents of the islands have been completely overturned. An elderly woman (played by Arya) who sells betel nuts on an island has an irreconcilable disagreement with her son, who returned to his hometown to start a business after graduating from university, over the issue of choosing a daughter-in-law. Development or conservatism? The film "Grandma's Betel Nut" uses plain description, poetic style and intersperses original ecological Li ethnic folk songs to tell the story of the Li ethnic grandma's struggle, helplessness and resistance against fate in the charming island scenery, reflecting the collision and integration of traditional customs and modern civilization, as well as the culture on and off the island in the process of social change. The thought-provoking story of the film directly points to human nature, highlighting the weight of life in a gentle narration.[Collapse]
