Synopsis

Anna hasn’t seen her family for a decade. When her grandmother dies, she returns home to face her grandfather and the ones she left behind. In the week leading up to the funeral, nothing goes as expected, and Anna is forced to reconsider how she lives her life.
Chasing the Wind is a humorous and melancholy lovestory that shows how communicating with your own family is the most difficult communication of all. The film’ s humor emerges from the frustration and anger the characters feel when they can neither talk to nor understand each other. The melancholy is connected to their realization that the longer they wait to tell the truth to each other, the more painful it becomes.
