DramaRomance

Three poetic tales of seeking the true identity. In the first story, Jing, a blind singer, falls in love with her band's tomboy accordionist Diego. In another time and place, Lily, an elderly lesbian and Yen, her gay friend, create an unexpected bond and support each other in a time of crisis. Finally, we see Diego before she joined the band, when as a teenager she came to grips with her gender identity.

VIBE

A deeply felt, quietly devastating exploration of self. It's a film that lingers, a gentle yet profound meditation on love and identity across different lives, told with a delicate, poetic touch.
