Long-term couple Pat and Angie have lived happily in their beautiful Hong Kong flat for decades, surrounded by family and friends who delight in their lively dinner parties. Pat’s sudden death changes everything in a split second. As Pat hasn’t left a will, her once seemingly supportive family now wrests control from Angie, leveraging Hong Kong law against her to make all the decisions and arrangements. Angie desperately wants to fight for Pat’s wishes and turns to her community of queer friends for support as she navigates not only her grief but also the impending loss of her home.
This exquisite, heartfelt, and poignant drama by accomplished director Ray Yeung (Twilight’s Kiss, VQFF ’20) has captivated audiences worldwide, winning this year’s Audience Award at Frameline: San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival and the prestigious Teddy Award for Best Feature Film at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival.
