'Our Ties': First Trailer for Roschdy Zem's Venice Competition Title (English Subtitles)
In the film, a young couple receives strange videos after the mysterious disappearance of their baby daughter and realizes that someone has been filming their daily lives—even their most intimate moments. Police set up surveillance around their home in an attempt to catch the voyeur, but the family begins to unravel as secrets unfold under the watchful eyes of all sides.
Yeo, whose “A Land Imagined” won the top prize at the 2018 Locarno Film Festival, has cast acclaimed Taiwanese actors Lee Kang-Sheng (“What Time Is It There?”, “Days”) and Wu Chien-Ho (“A Sun”) in the film. Other key actors include newcomers Anicca Panna and Xenia Tan, and veterans Vera Chen (“Boluomi”) and Pete Teo (“Barbarian Invasion”).
The film is structured as a Singapore-Taiwan-France-U.S. co-venture. It is produced by Fran Borgia for Singapore's Akanga Film Asia ("A Land Imagined," "Tiger Stripes"); Stefano Centini for Taiwan's Volos Films ("Tomorrow Is a Long Time," "The Settlers"); Jean-Laurent Csinidis for France's Films de Force Majeure ("Little Palestine, Diary of a Siege," "A Holy Family"); and Alex C. Lo for U.S.-based Cinema Inutile ("Club Zero," "The Settlers"). Playtime is handling international sales.
