For filmmaker Weina Zhao living between different worlds appears to be a firm family tradition. She herself grew up in Vienna, with – or between – two languages and cultures, between two countries, both of which dictated her identity. In WEIYENA – THE LONG MARCH HOME she embarks upon a journey to China together with co-director Judith Benedikt in order to capture and preserve the undisclosed memories of her family and the vanishing history of her country.
