With a duration of.just over two hours and a half, Youth (Homecoming) is a relatively short Bing Wang documentary. The other two parts of this triptych (2023’s Spring and Hard Times, which premiered earlier this year in Locarno) came in with a runtime of nearly four hours each. The approach of the three films is remarkably similar. There is no chronological and barely a narrative thread.

An old man stumbles onto a diary. His memory has faded in recent times, but he becomes engrossed in something he wrote 40 years earlier. Diving into the pages, he reads a story about a young male travelling overseas in order to discover love. Gian, the elderly person, is captivated by his younger self, a youth who would happily give his whole heart to his beloved Leila. Memories start forming: amnesiac Gian begins to recall his life as an adolescent, a father and a widower.
