Ning Hao offers Chinese road trip romance with Breakup Buddies

Breakup Buddies brings together more than immediately meets the eye, says Chinese director Ning Hao, who was at the Toronto International Film Festival for the first time with his latest road trip film.

The flick follows a man and his best friend - played by Xu Zheng and Huang Bo - as the protagonist hits the road to deal with the emotional aftermath of his recent divorce.

Ning says Breakup Buddies brings fun and humor onto the big screen but is more than just pure entertainment.
