My daughter (9) and I watched The Road Home and also Not One Less this past weekend. We loved both films. The Road Home is a love story, almost more like a visual poem, gorgeously filmed and very romantic. Not One Less is also filmed in the Chinese countryside but also with scenes in the city. It’s about a very young girl, maybe 12, who is recruited to serve as a substitute teacher in the remote countryside for a month, and the lengths she goes to to keep her class in tact. Enjoy!
