Trailer For Jet Li's 'Ocean Heaven'

 

The trailer has been released for 'Ocean Heaven' (previously 'Ocean Paradise'), a new contemporary drama starring Jet Li. Directed by debut filmmaker Xue Xiaolu, the project marks the first non-action role for Li and focuses on the relationship between a father and his autistic son.

Synopsis

One person out of every thousand is born with autism. It follows that China has over one million autism patients. David is one of them: he looks absent-minded, repeats other people's words, swims with amazing ease, keeps everything at home in exact order... and maybe he is not totally aware of his mother's death some years ago. Working in an aquarium, Sam Wong takes tender care of this twenty-two-year-old son and, with the generous help of the neighbours, the two live happily together. Yet, the father understands very well that in the end, he will have to depart from the world, leaving his son alone. Unfortunately, that day may come sooner than everyone is ready to believe.

'Ocean Heaven' is due for release later this year.
