Synopsis
Streams Flow From A River illustrates the struggles immigrant families face while making a home in the West. The Chow Family placed their bets on a liquor store and laundromat in a small Canadian town. Gordon and Diana’s marriage disintegrated, and their children, Loretta and Henry, felt the effects. Ten years later, they are trapped under the same roof by a freak snowstorm. The Chows must confront the events a decade prior that tore them all apart in order to survive the storm.
Note from the artistic direction
After 10 years of being separated, the Chow family is stuck under the same roof during a great snow storm. Christopher Yip’s directing is a true heritage of North-American independent cinema, with which he depicts the picture of a multi-generational, delicate and sensitive family of immigrants in a small anonymous town in Canada.
