Set in 1917, ‘Grand Tour’ stars Goncalo Waddington, Crista Alfaiate, Claudio da Silva, and Lang Khe Tran. The film revolves around a civil servant named Edward who, on the brink of marriage, flees from his intended bride, Molly, setting off on a pursuit across Asia. Interwoven within this narrative are poignant glimpses of contemporary Asia captured on 16mm film.
The official logline of the film states: “Rangoon, Burma, 1917. Edward, a civil servant for the British Empire, runs away from his fiancee Molly the day she arrives to get married. During his travels, however, panic gives way to melancholy. Contemplating the emptiness of his existence, the cowardly Edward wonders what has become of Molly… Determined to get married and amused by Edward’s move, Molly follows his trail on this Asian grand tour.”
