Ocean Heaven

According to the U.S. Centers of Disease Control, one person out of every 110 is born with autism. The movie follows that China has over one million autism patients. David (Wen Zhang) is one of them: he looks absent-minded, repeats other people`s words, swims with amazing ease, keeps everything at home in exact order and maybe he is not totally aware of his mother`s death some years ago. Working in an aquarium, Sam Wong (Jei Li) takes tender care of this twenty-two-year-old son of his. With the generous help of the neighbours, the two live happily together. Yet, the father understands very well that in the end, he will have to depart from the world, leaving his son alone - and that day will come sooner than everyone is ready to believe. "Ocean Heaven" is an ode to a father who is determined to find shelter for his son before it is too late. In the process, the boy achieves a measure of independence necessary for both to let go.
