BENDS

Un film de Flora Lau

Avec : Carina Lau, Kun Chen, Yuan Tian

Anna aime sa fille plus que tout au monde et est prête à tous les sacrifices pour la nourrir. Mais l’assassinat de plusieurs personnes qui se sont approchées d’elle fait peser des soupçons sur sa santé mentale…

BENDS straddles the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border and tells the story of ANNA, an affluent housewife and FAI, her chauffeur, and their unexpected friendship as they each negotiate the pressures of Hong Kong life and the citys increasingly complex relationship to mainland China. Fai is struggling to find a way to bring his pregnant wife and young daughter over the Hong Kong border from Shenzhen to give birth to their second child, even though he crosses the border easily every day working as a chauffeur for Anna. Anna, in contrast, is struggling to keep up the facade of her ostentatious lifestyle into which she has married, after the sudden disappearance of her husband amid financial turmoil. Their two lives collide in a common space, the car.
