Blue Sea (2026)

Blue Sea is a Chinese drama set in a quiet coastal village, where Li Hongzhu, a performer of traditional Maoguo opera, raises her daughter Xiaokui alone after her husband disappears at sea. As the local folk art declines and her daughter becomes seriously ill, Li Hongzhu faces difficult choices about family, livelihood, and the future of her troupe.

Song Jinxiao directs the film as a story of maternal devotion and perseverance. The seaside setting is closely connected to the characters' lives, while traditional performance culture provides an important backdrop for a drama about loss, hope, and preserving a disappearing artistic tradition.
