Directed by Huang Xi ("Missing Johnny"), the film has an impeccable pedigree stemming from executive producers Hou Hsiao-hsien and Sylvia Chang. Taiwanese industry icon Chang also stars in the film, alongside Karena Lam and Eugenie Liu ("Old Fox").
The film chronicles the journey and choices of a 60-year-old woman whose daughter dies in an accident. The older woman discovers that she is responsible for her deceased daughter’s IVF embryo and decides to confront the other daughter she had as a teenager. As past regrets and future responsibilities collide, the film also explores the complexities of reproduction within the LGBT community.
The film is produced by Sun Lok Productions and received project investment from TAICCA on behalf of the National Development Fund. Andrews secured the first sale, to Hong Kong-based Edko Film ahead of the film’s world premiere in Toronto.
