A Place Beyond Fear

A documentary about a family’s attempt to rid a male heir of deviation from expectations.

Hailing from southwest China, Hao Zhou explores queer and feminist stories in peripheral spaces. The documentary will follow a family as its members confront their sole male heir’s deviation from expectations.
To challenge their contempt, the heir indulges his family’s wish to rid him of everything they hate and fear.
In their mountainous town, the family exposes the heir to a series of mystical interventions to transform his body, mind, spirit, and fate. As this arduous pursuit exposes tensions and traumas amid all participants, will the family end up being the ones who are transformed?
