Love of God

The violinist Shen Xinyi (Guo Shaozhen) and his wife accidentally lost the three-year-old child Bai Xiaolin (Zhou Yongyong) in a play, and was adopted by the good-hearted Bai Jianguo of the Buyi people. Ten years later, Bai Xiaolin stumbled upon his own life in the pursuit of musical dreams. He also found his own parents and family reunion through music because of his connection with the violin.

Directed by Hong Qi, Love of God leans on a strong ensemble — Florence Kwok Siu-Wan, Bai Liuxi, Yang Shulin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2018.
