Shun Li And The Poet

Shun Li, a Chinese bartender, is working to bring her young son to Italy. Bepi is the grizzled Slavic fisherman-poet who recognizes a kindred spirit. As the couple’s delicate bond develops, so do hostilities in those uncomfortable with cultural integration. “Filmed in the extraordinary environs of the Venetian lagoon…this is haunting and affecting with visual poetry to spare.”
