Return Ticket (DVD) (Taiwan Version)

Product Description

Taiwan director Teng Yung Shing crosses the Taiwan Strait for Return Ticket, a quiet drama that explores the lives of migrant workers in Mainland China. Every year, tens of millions of migrant workers travel from major cities to their rural hometowns for Lunar New Year, & Return Ticket is the story of a few of those workers. Amanda Qin ( Piano in a Factory, A Simple Life) stars as Cai Li, a migrant worker from Fuyang who returns to Shanghai after losing her factory job down south. There, she meets an old friend whose latest money scheme involves taking a group of Fuyang migrant workers back to their hometown by bus. As Cai Li becomes involved with the business plan, she also has to decide whether to go home or to continue wandering in the big city.

This moving drama about the mental & physical distance of home is the winner of two awards at the 2011 Golden Horse Awards: Best Supporting Actress (Tang Qun) & Best Screenplay (also co-written by Qin), as well as the Best Director Award in the Shanghai Film Festivals Asian New Talent Award competition.
