Ocean Heaven

China, Mandarin, Open Captions, 96 minutes

Jet Li, in his first dramatic role, stars as a single father of a son who has autism in this poignant family drama. With the help of compassionate neighbors, Wang has managed to provide a good life for his son. But when Wang learns that he has a terminal disease, his parental instinct kicks into overdrive in order to provide his son with the tools and skills he will need to function independently in society. Ocean Heaven is a tribute to the infinite love that parents have for their children and their unending desire to care for them, at any cost.
