Free Film "Getting Home" Wednesday, March 12 at 6:30 PM, Wang Center Theater - Confucius Institute at Stony Brook University

“A falling leaf returns to its roots”  is the Chinese proverb that is at the heart of
“Getting Home.” In this
soulful and humane comedy, Zhao, a middle-aged construction worker, struggles
to keep his promise to fulfill a dying co-worker's last wish: to be buried in
his home village in China's Three Gorges region. Setting out with his
colleague's body in tow, Zhao travels hundreds of miles across extraordinary
countryside, encountering a number of colorful adventures and characters– and
even discovering love in some unlikely quarters as he “returns the fallen leaf
to its roots.” Director Zhang Yang's humorous and moving tale of friendship
offers a powerful, and sometimes slapstick, commentary on the value of
community and human connectivity in modern China.



.Admission: Free.
Open to all.
