RIDING ALONE FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES

千里走单骑

Japanese fisherman Takata has been estranged from his son for many years, but when the son is diagnosed with terminal cancer, his daughter-in-law, Rie, summons him to the hospital. Through a series of obstacles and relationships, he is unexpectedly brought closer to both an understanding of himself and his son.

A co-production between China and Japan with director Yasuo Furuhata handling the Japanese sections, this intimate picture was acclaimed by critics on release, and is a must-see for fans of Zhang Yimou’s filmography.
