Blue Sun Palace Saturday, May 31, 2025 7 p.m.-9 p.m.
In a massage parlor in Flushing, Queens, Amy (Wu Ke-Xi) and Didi (Haipeng Xu) navigate romance, happiness, and the obligations of family thousands of miles from home. Despite the physical and emotional toll their work extracts, the women who live at the parlor have fortified an impenetrable sisterhood. When tragedy strikes, Amy is forced to consider her own destiny for the first time. Even though she finds solace in the company of Cheung (Lee Kang-sheng, known for his roles in the films of Taiwanese directorTsai Ming-liang), Amy must leave the city and prioritize her own spirit in order to survive.
