The Fourth Wall

LIU Lu is leading a dreary and seemingly mundane life, working at a deer breeding farm. A friend, MA Hai, keeps trying in vain to win her affections. It's as if she's isolating and banishing herself from any kind of human warmth or love. MA Hai confesses he knows another LIU Lu and another himself in a 'parallel world'. The more she learns about the other 'her', the more LIU Lu uncovers about the long suppressed memories from her past.

Directed by Bo Zhang, Zhang Chong, The Fourth Wall leans on a strong ensemble — Liu Lu, Wang Ziyi — 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 drama titles of 2019.
