A Tibetan-themed film "Kora", based on the best-selling novel of the same name, tells the story of a frail-looking man who journeys to Tibet by bicycle from Lijiang, Yunnan Province in order to fulfill his late brother's last wish.

He is a lonely traveller on the road.

The film records his complex emotions during this journey, loneliness, fear, love and friendship.

The film will compete at the 24th Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) running from October 22 to 30. There are only two Chinese films nominated in this year's TIFF and "Kora" is the only one Mandarin-speaking film.

The organizing committee of the 24th Tokyo International Film Festival unveiled the nominees for this year's festival on Sep. 21. Director Du Jiayi's adventure drama, "Kora" and Oxide Pang's 3D horror movie, "Dream Walker" were included on the list of nominees.

The 24th Tokyo International Film Festival will run from October 22 to 30.
