From IMDB:
"Takada, a Japanese fisherman has been estranged from his son for many
years, but when the son is diagnosed with terminal cancer his
daughter-in-law, Rie, summons him to the hospital. When his son
refuses to see him, Rie gives him a videotape about the work his son
was doing on a documentary film in a remote region of China's Yunnan
province.

Still troubled by the relationship, Takada decides to
complete his son's work in part to develop an understanding of his
son, and in part to do something for him. Once in China a series of
obstacles and relationships bring him unexpectedly closer to both an
understanding of himself and of his son."
