Synopsis
Spoiler shield
On the same day, in the same accident, Wei loses his pregnant wife and Ming her fiancé. In Buddhism, one is given 100 days to mourn for the dead. Like two mice lost in a labyrinth, Wei runs around in circles while Ming calmly creeps down a determined path. But the pain and sorrow linger on. With the 100th day approaching, they wonder if they'll ever be able to say goodbye.

What people are saying
- Alunauwie★ 8/10
Zinnia Flower (2015) explores grief through Wei and Min, two people who lose their loved ones in the same accident but cope with their pain in very different ways. Through quiet interactions, Chinese mourning rituals, and restrained performances, the film portrays how anger, guilt, loneliness, and memories gradually lead the grieving toward acceptance. Rather than focusing on romance, the film offers a deeply emotional reflection on learning to let go while continuing to live. `` By alunauwie ``
