Directed by Ziyi Zhang
Chinese movie (Mandarin) with English subtitles.
A son returns to his village after his father's death. His mother's wants the body carried back to the village by hand, an old tradition so the he'll never forget the way, but the village is short on manpower.
The story goes back in time to show how his father and mother met and how important his father was to the village. Subtle love story.
Good movie.
