Program Note
Grandfather lives in Beijing after leaving his hometown. For 18 years he has been taking care of his only friend, a nightingale. Although his son and his wife gained fortune and fame, they have become distant and they rarely talk together. Their only daughter and granddaughter have an unwanted trip with the grandfather. Brought up under the city’s fancy skyline, the young girl who cannot spend time without iPad, game machine, or cell phone faces a bumpy ride on her journey to her grandfather’s hometown. They get lost after getting on the wrong bus and camp in a cave. Stranded in a small village, they mingle with local kids. By showing the granddaughter who once teased her grandfather about the family beginnings, she gradually shows interest in his life, and the film leads to her realization about her own feelings on this. Listening to the grandfather’s story of returning to his hometown to keep promise with his wife, the granddaughter comes to think about her root, the lives of others, living with nature and the contrasting busy life in the city. This film provides an opportunity to calmly think about simple values lost in China as that society becomes richer. (PARK Inho)
