It is past midnight on May 35th. Armed with a dated map of Tiananmen Square, a candle and some matchsticks, a cleaner's work permit, and a family secret buried for over 30 years, an elderly couple is getting ready to commit the bravest act yet. Based on interviews and real life stories of parents who lost their children at the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989, May 35th is a moving story about an elderly couple's dying wish to hold a proper ritual for their son in the same place where he was murdered by the state 35 years ago.
