Keld is in a rut. His wife of 25 years has left him. For sustenance, he eats his way through the menu at the local Chinese takeaway. The owner talks him into a marriage of convenience with his sister from China and the unplanned-for happens.

The unexpected integration of a Danish man in the life of a Chinese family is portrayed with vivacious humour and subtle charm in Chinaman, starring Vivian Wu. A delicate award-winning drama, commenting on multiculturalism, emotional ineptitude, and the beauty of new beginnings.
