He has previously directed three short films – “A Parisian Movie” (2011), “In a Lovely Place” (2017) and “Love Letter” (2019). In his directorial long feature film debut “Café by the Highway” which has just had its international premiere in the main competition of the Moscow International Film Festival, Shi’s artistic background takes over, with the film taking shape of neatly arranged artistic ideas that fill the holes in the script.
After being sacked from her barista job in Shanghai, Yuanfang (Yase Liu) returns to her hometown Baima to make peace with her estranged father. But once she gets home, there is neither sign of him, nor her cats. The old man is somewhere “on a top secret special task”, she is told, and almost like he knew she was coming, he arranged her a job.
