A Marathon Run for Love: The First And Last Marathon Unveils First Concept Poster
Producer: Fei Wang
The story follows Luo Xiaohe, a college student who moves to the city with his grandmother, his only family member. When she suddenly develops a serious illness and urgently needs a liver transplant, Luo decides to donate part of his liver. With encouragement from classmates and teachers, he resolves to complete his first and last marathon before undergoing surgery. For Luo, the race represents far more than a sporting challenge; it becomes a deeply personal journey shaped by love, responsibility, and life's difficult choices.
Producer Fei Wang said the film's emotional strength lies in placing sport within the realities of ordinary life rather than focusing solely on competition. Running is both part of Luo's daily routine and an expression of his determination. His goal extends beyond completing 42 kilometers; it is also a way of honoring his grandmother and the family they share. Through this story, the film seeks to convey the enduring power of love, commitment, and hope.
Wang also highlighted the production challenges of portraying competitive running authentically. Training sequences and marathon scenes required careful coordination of physical performance, emotional storytelling, and cinematography. The production team strengthened planning during pre-production and coordinated closely with the director, cast, sports consultants, and filming crew to integrate athletic elements naturally into the narrative.
Director Boren praised the film's final presentation, noting that it preserves the original screenplay's restrained warmth and humanistic depth while exceeding expectations in production coordination and execution. The seamless integration of running scenes with Luo's emotional journey reflects the team's commitment to storytelling and quality, supported by Wang's understanding of the film's themes.
With the release of its concept poster, The First And Last Marathon begins to reveal its emotional world, inviting audiences to discover a moving story of family, perseverance, and the extraordinary strength found in ordinary lives.
