Winner of the French Touch prize in the Critics’ Week lineup of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Tsang’s intimate, sensitively observed drama stars Lee Kang-sheng alongside Wu Ke-xi and Xu Haixpeng as three Chinese immigrants living in Flushing, Queens—he’s a construction worker, they’re employees of a massage parlor they dream of being able to leave—whose routine lives and relationships are changed forever following a tragic Lunar New Year incident. A tender study of social isolation and messy emotional entanglement, infused with melancholic atmosphere by the standout work of DP Norm Li, shooting on film.
