Lead by legacy

In this short film commissioned by Zegna, actors William Chan and Xu Yajun reunite in Milan for a day. Evoking a father-son dynamic, the story centres on the idea of transmission: how to carry on a legacy while also forging your own path. As the story unfolds, the two men discover that what unites them — ideals, values, and an appreciation for excellence — is stronger than what sets them apart.
