Family drama brings warmth

A Chinese remake of Japanese master Yoji Yamada's comedy is banking on its script to draw viewers. Xu Fan reports.

Lili Marleen is a Germany song that was popular during World War II. But when actor-turned-director Huang Lei heard it, he decided it would be part of his directorial debut, What a Wonderful Family.

In the movie's last scene, an antique radio airs the song in an empty room.
