16m Documentary 2023

我们全力以赴的脚步/我們全力以赴的腳步

Luke and DanDan have both been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

Luke wants to show that adventure and exercise are possible even with cancer. He meets 31 year old DanDan in Chengdu, China, and they decide to climb to a 4,400m mountain lake to begin a new chapter of their lives. Luke encourages DanDan as she climbs her first mountain whilst DanDan guides Luke through a country and culture that is both deeply unfamiliar and enchanting.
