Duckweed

Duckweed (乘风破浪, 2017) — a Chinese fantasy comedy-drama from director Han Han — is available to watch online on iFILM. After a crash following a fight with his estranged father, Xu Tailang wakes up in a small Chinese town in the mid-1990s, where his dad is a carefree young man not yet thirty.

Han Han is better known in China as a bestselling novelist and professional racing driver; Duckweed is his second feature. He packs it with period detail — pirated tapes, neighbourhood gangs, the particular restlessness of small-town youth — and underneath it all a simple question: what do you say to your father when you finally see who he used to be?
