When his father dies, Luo Yusheng returns from the city to his childhood village where his father was the much-revered local teacher. But what begins as a short trip to bury his father becomes much more when he learns his mother wants a traditional burial for her beloved husband. She wants to have him carried by foot, honoring the belief that a body returned this way will never forget the road home. As Yusheng enlists the men needed to fulfill her wishes, the story of his parents’ love affair unfolds. (Via Vision Entertainment)

Yimou Zhang has managed to direct beautiful films, touching, human, and powerful, even though they focus solely on ordinary people. But their stories are powerful too, and that's what this film is. Humanly beautiful and touching, with powerful scenes that appear ordinary at first glance. But the scene where young Zhao runs after her beloved with food, but can't catch up to him, is breathtaking.
