A family embarks on an annual tormenting journey along with 200 other million peasant workers to reunite with their distant family, and to revive their love and dignity as China soars as the world’s next super power.

Each year in China more than 130 million migrant workers travel home for the New Year’s holiday—the one time they’ll reunite with family all year.

The mass exodus constitutes the world’s largest human migration.

Amid this chaos, director Lixin Fan focuses on one couple who embark upon a two-day journey to see their children.
