Distance is a 2015 anthology drama film directed by Xin Yukun, Tan Shijie, and Sivaroj Kongsakul and starring Chen Bolin, Jiang Wenli, Tony Yang, Paul Chun and Chayanit Chansangavej.[2] [3] [1] [4] A Chinese-Thai-Singaporean-Taiwanese co-production, the film was shown at the 52nd Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards on 5 November 2015 and was released in China by Beijing Juhe Yinglian Media on 13 May 2016 and in Taiwan on 20 May 2016.[1] [4] The film consists of three short segments, each of which was intended by executive producer Anthony Chen to focus on one of three types of relationship: family, friendship and love.[5]
A conflicted manager on a business trip is intrigued by an elderly worker and investigates his life.
A young father receives a letter that brings him to a foreign land, where old emotions come unburied.
A visiting professor from overseas sets a student's heart fluttering, while having to deal with his own.
Different characters, different relationships, the same humanity; stories about the distances between us and how we live with them.
The film has grossed at the Chinese box office.[1]
