Taking Father Home

The film centers on a 17-year-old boy from the Sichuan province who embarks on a quest to locate his father, who abandoned the family six years earlier. His mother's continued receipt of money from his father only fuels his resentment, leading him to seek revenge rather than reconciliation.

As he navigates the complexities of urban life, the boy carries a basket of ducks on his back, symbolizing both his innocence and the burdens of his past. This poignant narrative explores themes of familial estrangement and the challenges of balancing hope with anger in a rapidly changing environment.
