Fabien Gaillard’s Lao Wai recounts a Sino-French romance in Shanghai and Wuhan, which proves that romantic love is universal and not Paris-specific. IT engineer Da Bao (Gauthier Roubichou), a French national fluent in Chinese, meets Mei, a Chinese teacher from Wuhan, in a Shanghai DVD store. He invites her to a club where he sings with his friends and the two begin dating. Six months later, Mei moves in to Da Bao’s apartment and invites him to celebrate Chinese Year with her family in Wuhan. The night before their departure, Da Bao got drunk at his ex-girlfriend’s place. Mei breaks up with him and goes back home with a broken heart. Da Bao takes his guitar and travels to Wuhan, contemplating on the flowing Yangtze River. Can he win back her heart with a Chinese song sung like a chanson? |
