What it is about
After returning to Taiwan for the New Year, Pu Nien's life is turned upside down when her mother, Yu Ling, falls seriously ill, revealing long-hidden secrets. As Pu Nien grapples with her mother's condition, she also faces challenges in her own personal life, including the complicated dynamics with her girlfriend, Tsai. Meanwhile, Tsai is torn by her past and must make difficult decisions that will impact her future with Pu Nien.
What to expect
Pu Nien returns to Taiwan for the Lunar New Year and her mother falls seriously ill, forcing long-hidden secrets into the open. At the same time, her relationship with girlfriend Tsai is under strain — Tsai is caught up in her own past and facing choices that will shape their future. The movie runs a lean 80 minutes and keeps its focus tight on these two pressures: a parent in decline and a partnership at a crossroads. It is screening as part of HKLGFF 2026 with English and Chinese subtitles. Check the festival programme for venues and showtimes.
