Description
A middle-aged Japanese man named Takada travels to rural China to try to do something for his estranged son who has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Shortly before the diagnosis, the young man, who spent much of his time making documentaries on the mask operas of China, had made a promise to film a certain performer that claimed to be the greatest singer of one of the greatest of songs, entitled, "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles", from the famed opera, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Takada wants to do the film that his son intended, mostly as a way to show how much he truly loves him, despite their not having spoken in years. Despite not knowing a word of Chinese (he employs some interpreters to assist), and being wholly unfamiliar with the customs of the land, Takada remains tenacious in his pursuit of filming the song as a gesture of his love and remorse for the years wasted in isolation.
