In the past, from European perspective the Far East was thought to hold vast amounts of treasure and caught the imagination of many a traveler. The chapter describes two French films which incorporate a similar sentiment, typical of Orientalism. The East is seen as a land of opportunity but also wistfully regarded as holding something lost with the heroes try to reconnect. The movement toward the East is initially seen as unwelcome duty resulting from their past adventures, as a consequence of their past actions. As such, the physical, eastward journey represents the need to face the inner self and try to change to adapt to the new reality. In case of both movies, Wasabi (2001), and Guardian Angels (1995), the heroes are not only called to adventure, but also to offer protection, and consequently find their own redemption in creating a family.
