Taking Father Home is the moving story of Xu Yun, a teenager who lives in a remote village in China’s Sichuan province. With nothing but a basket of geese to use as currency, he travels to the city of Zigong to find and retrieve his father who walked out on the family six years before.

Director Ying Liang’s evocation of the sights, sounds and smells of Zigong is breathtaking, recreating the mood and character of an entire culture with the simplest touch and most basic use of dialogue. Taking Father Home has established Ying as one of world cinema’s most promising young talents.
