In "Revive", Jia explores concerns about second births in China after the one-child policy was ended, while Qubeka, in "Stillborn", explores the virtual world, where a woman robot programmed to be a janitor decides to learn about and question her human origin.

All the narrations seek to relive common experiences even in stories taking place thousands of miles apart. The goal is to find a universal theme of understanding, especially shared by people living in burgeoning and fast-changing BRICS countries.

"Through culture, we can break so many barriers. I think culture and the arts just take us into a space of understanding," said Qubeka.

"Where Has Time Gone" will be more extensively released in China in September.

The ninth BRICS Summit is scheduled for September 3 to 5 in Xiamen of East China's Fujian province.
