WHERE THE LEAVES FALL

Synopsis

Giacomo, a young second-generation Chinese-Italian, travels to the Chinese county of Wencheng to bring back the ashes of his late father. Here, in his parent's hometown, he stays with his grandfather, who becomes a guide towards forgotten paths of his culture of origin, far removed from his life in Europe.
