In recent years, we have been increasingly featuring independent Hong Kong filmmakers who have the courage to tackle sensitive and socially important topics. One of them is director Tam Wai Ching, whose latest film tells a deeply personal story about a desire for love, intimacy, and freedom.
The main character – Mui (Fish Liew) – is a young woman suffering from cerebral palsy since birth who struggles every day with physical limitations and a lack of understanding from those around her. When her mother decides that Mui should undergo a medical procedure that would permanently end her period – and symbolically take away her feminine identity – she decides to put up a fight. With the help of a friend, she turns to an organization that provides intimate services to people with disabilities where she meets Ken (Carlos Chan).
Their encounter gradually evolves into a gentle, but intense relationship between two vulnerable souls. Mui and Ken try to find their own path to love despite physical and social obstacles. With unprecedented empathy and sensitivity, Tam Wai Ching’s film opens up the issue of sexuality among the handicapped and shows that the desire for closeness and acceptance is universally human.
