The Road Home

“An unforgettable journey into the realm of the heart.”

Luo Yusheng (Sun Honglei) returns to his village in northern China for the funeral of his father, a schoolteacher. His mother, Zhao Di (Yulian Zhao), is in deep grief, and her son sits with her and recalls how the two of them met. Zhang Yimou goes back to the courtship of the young Zhao Di (Zhang Ziyi), in her first film role, and her devotion to Luo Changyu (Zheng Hao), the new teacher, and what survives of it now rests on one grieving woman.
