    • Synopsis
    • When influential Chinese artist Maleonn learns his father, famed Peking Opera director Ma Ke, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he knows time is short. Their life together and the memories between them will soon be gone. In a last effort to bridge the gap, the two embark upon one of their greatest journeys: they collaborate on a haunting, magical, autobiographical stage performance called Papa’s Time Machine, in which a scientist constructs a time machine so that his father can relive some of their happiest memories. Together, they must confront the challenges of aging and the repercussions of the Cultural Revolution as they race against time to mount the show before Ma Ke’s memories are lost forever.
