73 år gamle Ma og bestevennen Cao var en gang kistemakere. Etter at den<br />

kinesiske regjeringen tillot kremasjon, har behovet for kister blitt betydelig<br />

mindre. Nå tilbringer Ma tida med sine barnebarn. Da Ma kommer hjem<br />

etter å ha feiret høstfestivalen hos datteren og hennes familie, får han vite at<br />

Cao er død og at kisten hans ligger et hemmelig sted i en maisåker ved siden<br />

av en innsjø. Etter hvert påstår Ma å ha sett en hvit trane ved denne innsjøen<br />

og bestemmer seg for å vente der hver dag. Snart begynner alle i bygda å le av<br />

Ma, og barnebarna bestemmer seg for at noe må gjøres.<br />

Bruken av statisk kamera og lange tagninger bidrar til filmens særegne og<br />

realistiske preg. fly with the crane er et subtilt og rørende portrett,<br />

en film å forsones med død og alderdom og om muligheten for å leve et liv i<br />

verdighet.<br />

73-year-old Ma and his good friend Cao were once coffin makers. Since the<br />

Chinese government implemented the practice of cremation, the demand<br />

for coffins dried up. Ma now spends his days with his grandchildren. When<br />

Ma returns from spending the mid-Autumn festival with his daughter and<br />

her family, he is told that Cao has passed away and that his coffin is secretly<br />

buried in a cornfield next to a lake. Later, Ma claims to have seen a white<br />

crane by the lake, and waits by the lake everyday for it. When Ma becomes a<br />

laughingstock of the neighborhood, his grandchildren innocently propose to<br />

take the matter into their own hands.<br />

fly with the crane is a subtle and moving portrait, with static shots<br />

and long takes that create a realistic feel. It deals with the process of coming<br />

to terms with death and old age, and with the limitations of dignity.<br />
