Shower (1999)

Both has an autism kid that grown up. Moment of challenging, awkward, lots of funny and interesting moment as well. A single father raising an autism kid. They always worried about the child future. Teaching them routine, social, self-care as well as orchestra people surrounding the child. Shower is an older Chinese movie that did right. All father worry about their autism child, teaches the son the surviving skill, lots of love and encouraging their independent as well

Not a similar movie, but If you like Zhu Xu (the father) acting, you should watch The King of Masks. His acting was just so real and touches people hearts

If you like Xhu Xu acting, you should watch Lan. He can carry the whole show. Very raw and real. Too bad Lan was his last movie

Both Chinese movie involving Father and mentally challenge son relationship. The father teaches the son the routine of living. Heartwarming movies. Must watch

Both movies has a young man with mentally challenge. Sweet in heart but socially challenge. The parent (s) love and effort put in to support the grown son. Tremendous love

-Chinese language films that take place in a bath house
-Owner is at risk of losing his bath house and struggles to train someone to maintain it/help him

Both has father and mentally challenge son strong relationship. Also a brother in the mist. Tremendous fatherly love. The brother at first didn’t want anything to do with the younger brother were touch and soften up. He eventually pick up the responsibility

The similarity is the public bath, men bath together in public. Story wise are different. Both has some humors, in Westerner view. Showing healing process of taking steam bath
