Description:

In the gripping drama Old Beast, Lao Yang is far from the traditional, nurturing father expected in Chinese society. Now in his 60s, he is a man whose life has been a turbulent rollercoaster of ferocious financial ups and downs. Years after his business went bankrupt, Lao Yang remains a stubborn, reckless figure, refusing to settle quietly into old age. Fortunately, his three children are all grown up, but they now face the heavy burden of dealing with their father’s chaotic lifestyle and selfish choices. As family tensions escalate, Lao Yang’s past failures and present misbehavior spark a fierce conflict between him and his children. Old Beast offers a raw, compelling look at modern family dynamics, aging, and the bitter consequences of a life lived on the edge. This intense character study explores whether redemption is possible for a man who has spent his life acting like a beast, or if the damage to his family is already beyond repair.
