Warm House

Cong Cong (LUO Tengteng) returns to his hometown in Shanxi Province from his studies in Beijing, and spends 14 days with his elder brother Long Long (WEI Zheng) who suffers from bipolar disorder. The two brothers still maintain a close relationship despite long-time separation, but Cong Cong feels more and more overwhelmed when seeing his brother is constantly on an emotional rollercoaster and their mother (FENG Fuzhen) in perpetual torment. Aside from prescription drugs, the family even tries from soul-calling to prayers in the hope of healing Long Long, but everything fails… Warm House is WEI Dan’s debut feature, a striking and honest adaptation of his own family afflictions. WEI Zheng, who plays Long Long, is his real-life brother.
