One person out of every thousand is born with autism. It follows that China has over one million autism patients. David/Dafu (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 lacks full understanding of his mother's death. Working in an aquarium, Sam Wang/Wang Xincheng (Jet Li), has managed to give his autistic son a good life. But now Sam is dying, and soon David will be all alone. As Sam's condition rapidly deteriorates, he embarks on a heart-warming quest to secure a reasonable future for his 22-year-old son, struggling to connect with David in a way that will give him the opportunity to survive on his own. Ocean Heaven (Xiao Lu Xue | China | 2010 | 96 min | Narrative) is presented in partnership with Jewish Family Service as the Opening Night feature of the 1st Annual ReelAbilities: Houston Disabilities Film Festival. Join us to watch Jet Li in his first dramatic role. Screening will be followed by a talk-back discussion. To learn more, visit AsiaSociety.org/Texas.
