3 Asian Female Directors
3 Stories of Love in
3 Asian Cities
Synopsis
Helmed by three female directors, this omnibus features three films set in China, Thailand and Singapore respectively. Each story occurs at a specific mealtime, and seeks to interpret the frailties and complexities of love through different Asian perspectives.
