Product Description

Er Di is the town 'celebrity'. But only for the none-too-exceptional feat that he had been a stowaway, and a multiple failure at that. One time he succeeded and managed to live abroad for a number of years before he got caught and was repatriated. Back in his hometown he spends his days as a slacker, busy doing nothing. There is just one person on his mind: Xiao Nu from a travelling Shanghai opera troupe, another lonely soul leading a listless life. Something of a romance develops between them, but they don't see any meaningful things happening in their lives.

Emotions Common to All Races
Although the adorable little boy at the core of this movie is barely seen, without him there would be no story. This is a movie about the love of a father for a son. In Chinese religion. I believe parents need children to honor them after death for religious reasons. Therefore, this is more than just a father-child love movie; it is also somewhat a religious movie and that adds to the father's desires for his son. The main value of the movie, first, is the glimpse it gives of Chinese culture. Second, it shows common emotional experiences for all races. Third, it shows some of the problems caused by illegal immigration. All are good reasons to watch the movie.
