Shangri La (ITA-CHN 2017) - Trailer Official - Carlo Christian Spano & Jackson Zhao
Shangri La is based on a true story of a Chinese white-collar living in Beijing. After reading the fantasy novel "Lost horizon", he begins an extraordinary journey with a backpack in order to find his "Shangri-La". After getting advises from a philosophy professor from "Normal Beijing University", his quest to find his "Shangri-La status" turned so intense that he crosses 6 provinces and 12 cities passing through Shangri-La and the Tibetan region. On his way he meets many travelers such as a Tibetan Thangka master, a Wudang Kong Fu master and an hundred years old Daoist priest. Once he understands their advises, he keeps following his own feelings and finally realizes that he was guided to a mysterious place.
The word la (bla) literally means that which is “higher” or “above,” as in the word lama, the Tibetan translation of the Sanskrit guru (which literally means “heavy,” —heavy with good qualities, as the tradition explains). Lama Ugyen once explained lama as “one who looks down from above (la) with the love that a mother (ma) has for her children.”
