Now I Met Her: A moving journey to the roots of one's own family

At the 14th Chinese Film Festival Munich, Now I Met Her tells a story of memory, loss, and the late encounter with an unknown mother on Friday, November 6, 2026, in the projector of Gasteig HP8. The Chinese family film by XIAO Luxi combines emotional closeness with humorous moments and offers a personal view on love, life decisions, and family connection.

A diary becomes the key to the past

The 18-year-old Shiyi grows up with his father Zhang Yongxun. His mother Dongyu died at his birth and thus remained an almost intangible unknown. On his 18th birthday, Shiyi accidentally discovers her diary. The handwritten memories become the starting point of a journey through her life.

Memories piece together a human portrait

In his search, Shiyi encounters people who have accompanied Dongyu in different phases of life: old friends, her best friend from school, her first great love, and finally his own father. From their stories emerges a piece by piece image of a lively, brave woman who could never meet her child.

Family film with emotional depth

With a runtime of 121 minutes, Now I Met Her blends the genres of family and comedy. The film tells of grief and new beginnings, without reducing its characters to pain. Amid quiet discoveries, surprising encounters, and warm humor, a concert experience develops without music, but with intense visual dramaturgy, precise staging, and a strong emotional audience mood in the cinema hall.

A film in the spirit of the Chinese film festival

The 14th Chinese Film Festival Munich in 2026 is themed 'Between Light and Shadow, Meeting China'. The festival presents current productions from the Chinese-speaking world and focuses on personal relationships, societal changes, and the search for one's own place in life. The films are shown in their original version with English subtitles.
