Exit



Chienn Hsiang : 2014

A Kaohsiung garment worker in her mid-forties, Ling juggles redundancy, a hospital-bound mother, a crumbling flat, menopause and a rebellious daughter. Caring for her mother introduces Ling to her ward mate, a man whose distress Ling alleviates – even for just a bit – in return for his silent reminder that she is still a vibrant, living woman. A sharply observed chronicle of an average woman's struggle against despair. Chienn Hsiang's feature directorial debut premiered at Hong Kong International Film Festival 2014.
