Yangon, present-day Myanmar, 1917. Edward, a British imperial servant, is engaged to Molly, but runs away on the day of the wedding. On his journey, panic gradually gives way to melancholy. While reflecting on the insignificance of his own existence, Edward keeps thinking about Molly. And Molly, not giving up the idea of marriage and amused by Edward's cowardly act, follows her fiancé's footsteps through the lands of Asia. Miguel Gomes' unique take on the multi-layered history of colonialism was awarded Best Director at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Miguel Gomes studied in Lisbon and worked as a film critic before becoming a filmmaker. The director's films and retrospectives dedicated to him ("Taboo", "Arabian Nights") were presented at prestigious international festivals and film centers. Gomes' style is visual, poetic and hybrid, and in his films he often maneuvers between contemporary narratives and colonial history. His ability to freely migrate between different historical eras has earned him fame as the brightest director in his native Portugal and the title of best director at this year's Cannes. "Grand Tour" is the sixth film by Gomes, selected for the first time in the competition program of the Cannes Film Festival.
