CROSSING THE BORDER – ZHAOGUAN

During the summer vacation, Ningning, a seven – year- old boy was sent back to the countryside to be taken care of by his 77-year-old grandfather Li Fuchang. Li accidentally learned that an old friend had suffered a stroke and was dying. He decided to ride a motorbike with his grandson and visit the old friend who lived in 500 kilometres away. On the way, they met a frustrated young man,a grumpy middle-aged trucker and a lonely old beekeeper. In contact with those people, the grandfather and grandson conducted a philosophical dialogue on death and memory.
