RUNTIME / MINUTES

English and Mandarin with English subtitles

Every frame has a story.

An illustrator takes a train across a landscape she knows only through postcards. A fellow passenger offers an alternative route, and a series of small decisions begins to redraw her idea of home. With an eye for the passing world and the quiet comedy of travel, A Map of Elsewhere closes the programme on a note of possibility.
