Directed by Ray Yeung • 2024 • Hong Kong
Starring Maggie Li Lin-lin, Patra Au Ga-man, Tai Bo
What happens to a lifetime of love when it collides with the harsh realities of a bureaucratic system that doesn’t recognize your relationship? That’s the question at the heart of this profoundly poignant, delicate exploration of the meaning of family, in which Angie (Patra Au Ga-man), a sixtysomething lesbian living in Hong Kong, finds herself adrift following the sudden death of Pat (Maggie Li Lin-lin), her loving partner of forty years. When she learns that, because they were unable to legally marry, Pat’s estate will pass to her extended family, Angie struggles to retain both her dignity and the home that they shared for over thirty years.
