12-year-old Tian is torn between two cultures. His father is a millionaire
Chinese businessman. His mother is French and dedicates herself to her family.
Tian is an outsider at school, and his academic grades suffer as a result. His
father is angry with Tian for doing badly at school, whereas his mother is
caring and understanding.
In the school holidays Tian is sent to his grandmother, a deeply spiritual
woman who lives in a secluded cabin in the Chinese mountains. While wandering
in the woods Tian discovers a young panda that he calls Moon. At first the
panda is afraid of him, but they become friends when Tian brings food.
It's a beautiful film, showing how a lonely young boy can make an unusual
friend. It isn't just a children's film. It can move viewers of any age;
anyone as sentimental as me.
