Synopsis:
In order to keep a promise he made to his wife, Zhu Zhi Gen prepares to return with his wife's caged bird, the sole companion of her final years, to her native village where he'll set the bird free. He'd decided to make this trip alone, but Ren Xing, his granddaughter, a spoiled little city girl, is forced to go with him.
During this journey to the outer reaches of traditional China and through magnificent landscapes, these two people who share nothing in common open up to each other, sharing memories and adventures.
Ren Xing will discover new values, particularly those related to the heart.
The film was mainly shot in Beijing and in Guangxi, in Yangshuo, Guilin City, and nearby Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County.
Comments:
"The award 'Danish Film Directors' Best Film for Children' goes to a production, which in our opinion brings a certain kind of freshness to children's films. Its story takes place in a world in which the old and new, the modern and the traditional appear to have nothing to do with each other, when as a matter of fact they do and it is the characters of the story showing us these strong bonds. It is a story about a girl and the transition of her attitude - but really, it is the story of a family told with a good sense of humor and in beautiful pictures. Being brought to us, at least from our perspectives, from the other side of the world, it tells us a universal story which touches everyone no matter where you live."
