Original Title:

Shun Li And The Poet

Lonely romantics form a platonic bond over poetry in this charming drama exquisitely shot in the port of Chioggia by Luca Bigazzi. Zhao Tao and Rade Serbedzija impress as the Chinese barmaid and Slavic fisherman overcoming prejudice.

A lyrical romance of two lonely souls connecting.
