A completely unlikely romance against all worldly obstacles, captured in images of immense power and creativity. A great emotional cinema.

Xia Yo is a wealthy, engaged businesswoman, Xu Zitai a street vendor and day laborer from the most modest background. She is exhausted and frustrated, he is disillusioned and cynical. And yet, both see something in each other right at their first encounter. The air crackles. It is the beginning of a great love against all odds that the world has in store for them. On one hand, there is her violent fiancé, who follows her everywhere. On the other hand, Xu Zitai's relentlessly progressing illness - and his refusal to seek treatment. - In images of stunning beauty and great creativity, ›Bound in Heaven‹ tells an incredibly fresh and authentic cinema of big emotions. And all without any kitsch. Only at the very end does the film consciously leave behind any sense of reality.

Xin Huo, born in 1980 in Beijing, already has a long list of written screenplays to her credit, including the script for ›Kung Fu Hustle‹, which became an international hit in 2004 under the direction of Stephen Chow. With ›Bound in Heaven‹, she steps into the limelight as a director for the first time.
