Description:
NOSTALGIA tells two related stories of a separated Chinese family and its unknown fate. They are barely surviving just to stay alive and are nowhere close to living life.
Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huai Sheng | Female | Asian | 7-13 | 7-8, (actress aged around 10 years old), a wise girl who’s about to enter a rough journey. She is innocent, smart and clever, but her life as the daughter of a Beijing drifter father makes a lot more mature than other girls of her age. |
| FATHER | Male | Asian | 25-40 | 40, (actor aged around 25-40 years old), Huai Sheng's father, a man of few words. He is a Beijing drifter as well as a factory worker. Seemingly only calm and lonely, the father has a fragile heart, constantly worrying about having an unstable life while desiring an ordinary family. |
| JUAN ER | Female | Asian | 20-35 | 35, (actress aged around 20-35 years old), Huai Sheng’s mother, a “left-behind” woman in a village in Northwest China. She is sentimental, eager for freedom and yet is afraid of loneliness. The sense of responsibility for her family keeps hope and light in her heart. |
| YONG GE | Male | Asian | 30-45 | 40, (actor aged around 30-45 years old) a lonely laid-off worker in the village, Juan Er’s lover, a silent tragic hero of violence and hatred. Yong Ge is of calm posture, but when the sense of guilt and anger accumulate inside him, he becomes an avenger. |
