FEATURE PRESENTATION

Lilting

Directed by Hong Khaou
2014, UK, 91 min

The sudden death of a young London man named Kai leaves his headstrong Chinese-Cambodian mother, Junn (Pei-pei Cheng from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), and his boyfriend, Richard (Ben Whishaw from Skyfall, Cloud Atlas), each in a personal and profound state of grief. Feeling a strong sense of responsibility toward Kai’s only family member, Richard reaches out to Junn, who has been biding time in an assisted-living home. Though Junn speaks little English, her dislike of Richard is plain, and she meets him with stony resistance. Since they share no common language, Richard hires a translator to facilitate communication, and the two improbable relatives attempt to reach across a chasm of misunderstanding through their memories of Kai.
