第11个妈妈

This film is about haunting memories of Asia's late 20th-century modernization. The story departs from a 1965 United States embargo on the hair trade, known as the "Communist Hair Ban". Yet, in every wig resides a ghost from the imperial past.Wigs were vital for the rise of the Asian economy in the post-war era. In the heyday of the 1960s, it was the number four export in Hong Kong's export-orientated industrialization. Between Mao's China - the largest source of hair supplies, and the insatiable Western market, Hong Kong functioned as the gateway. In 1965, U.S. Treasury Department imposed an embargo on "Asiatic hair", to cut off foreign currency to Communist China in the hair trade. The highly racialized category of "Asiatic hair" was later revised as "communist hair", to enable the wig industry to develop in U.S. allies including mainly South Korea and Japan, which led to a significant reconfiguration of light industry in East Asia. Departing from the moment of the communist hair ban, through stories of movement, diaspora and migration, this project examines the role of Hong Kong as a transient space that mediates and sanitizes the connection between different worlds, and the relationship between U.S. Imperialism and East Asia order in the Cold War era.Produced by: Ruoyao Jane YaoDirector of Photography: Yavuz Selim IslerCameraman (Hong Kong): Fai WanSound Recording: Franco van der LindeCasting Director: Sai-wang LauMakeup: Ika KartikaColor Grading: Bob LemmVoice-over:Jia Zhao, Hamza Junaid, Tommy TseCast:Zoenie Liwen Deng, Ruoyao Jane Yao, Zoe Tang, Michael de Ross, Sidney Vereycken, Sai-wang Lau, Jo-Lene OngProduced by:Geodesic Studio, Vines FilmsThanks toWAAG Society, Amsterdam16mm Film Transfer and ScanningAndec Filmtechnik, Berlin

春光百货商场的方经理即将离休，他建议某小商店的女经理贺玉莹来担任春光百货商场的副经理。贺玉莹来到商场后，受到陈书记、赵庆和副经理的热情欢迎。在工作中，贺玉莹作为副经理不仅是领导者，也是普通劳动者，经常深入柜台售货。她为了满足消费者的需求做了很多工作。当她发现商场库存结构不合理、积压物资等问题后，敢于和赵庆和展开下面斗争。赵庆和是个很有才干、业务熟练的副经理，得到陈书记的赏识，但他欺骗领导，弄虚作假，把滞销货灯芯绒当一次性处理卖出，又把成批华达呢卖给合同单位，致使柜台无货，群众买不到布。在与港商做生意时，他以活跃经济、多赚外汇为名，压低国内产口价格，高价买进塑料凉鞋，影响了产品销售。在他的经营思想影响下，纺织组组长俞淑芳为追求个人虚荣、结婚讲排场而发生了以次充好，接受贿赂的错误。贺玉莹埋头工作，却遭到别人的暗算。她的舅舅打着贺副经理的旗号从赵副经理处"走后门"买了一辆自行车，以致在群众中造成很坏影响。一次，她莫名其妙地给顾客少剪了两寸面而被上告。各种压力、批评、底座使她气馁，一气之下她折断了父亲留下的老尺，来到老经理家请示调节器回小商店。老经理把她折断的尺重新修好又给了她，批评她这种思想比"走后门"买自行车和短两寸布更严重。在商场职工大会上，贺玉莹作了检查，使误解她的同志受到教育。领导和群众更加支持她。而赵庆和却越来越远，组织决定他停职检查，俞淑芳受贿占便宜暴露后，受到处分，男朋友又抛弃了她，由此她便想寻短见。贺玉莹挽救了她，她深受感动地把短布的真象告诉了贺玉莹，贺玉莹感到只要无私对待工作，群众是会理解的。从此贺玉莹办好商场的决心更坚定了。在改革过程中，商业厅任命贺玉莹为春光百货商场的经理，而贺玉莹却谦虚地说："希望老经理经常回来指导工作，这个空座位就留给老经理吧。"
