Storyline:

The name of film is from a landmark of a 13th-century Buddhist temple in the Xicheng District of Beijing, the White Pagoda. The eccentric design of temple makes it hard to see its shadow. This has given rise to the local legend that its shade can actually be found some two thousand miles away in Tibet, the temple’s spiritual home. It is used as a metaphor for a life stage of the protagonist, hence the name: The Shadowless Tower.

A middle-aged man living alone in Beijing meets a young photographer at work. He learns the whereabouts of his father, with whom he had lost contact for more than 40 years. Encouraged by the photographer, he faces his father and regains the long-lost father-son relationship.
