Land Sailing 边境航行 tells the story of an Asian immigrant returning to the UK after an ordeal crossing the England Channel due to the refusal to board a plane and legally entering the UK. This road movie is mainly shot by action cameras, documenting from a first-person perspective a journey back from Paris on a Flixbus, via Calais and Dover by a ferry, illustrating a ten-hour crossing of the border and the geographic distance. This works tells a heartbreaking and serious story from a naive and innocent tune; it is feminine, gentle and poetic, containing shadow puppetry, Kazoo, paper boats and many other domestic and childlike elements.
