A Greek tragedy told in Chinese pop music. The tragic events of a boat captain trying to collect a debt to save his fleet of boats, as remembered by his ten year old son.
“In China you buy a box of cigarettes and when someone comes around that you want to talk to you give them a cigarette. And that’s eventually how the story started.”
– Johnny Ma, director of A Grand Canal
